This flat-fee semester tuition rate permits students to register for 12 to 18 U.S. credit hours per semester (the equivalent of about four to six courses; most courses carry 3 credits). A typical bachelor's student takes 15 credit hours (five courses) per semester: this is the rate of progress necessary for students to graduate on time. The flat-fee rate allows for up to six courses per semester if students wish to advance more quickly toward graduation and have the academic potential to do so.
* This rate applies to the full 16-week semesters in Fall and Spring. Students who enroll for eight-week half-semester courses (first-time students joining in October or March, for example) are invoiced at the part-time rate of tuition for that specific eight-week term. Subsequent semesters of 16 weeks are then invoiced as per above.
Part-time Bachelor Tuition Rate
Tuition for those taking less than 12 credits in a given semester is billed at the per-credit-hour rate. The tuition rate for part-time students in 2024-2025 is CHF 1,100 per credit hour, equivalent to CHF 3,300 per 3-credit course. Those who enroll in multiple part-time courses in a given eight-week term are still eligible for the services listed above.
