How much should I expect to pay?
The number of units you must complete to graduate depends on the course and if you receive advanced standing. This, in turn, will effect how much your Southern Cross University Online online course fees will cost you.
For example, if you hold a bachelor degree, graduate diploma or certificate in a similar field, or have equivalent work experience, you could receive up to eight units advanced standing for the MBA and up to six units advanced standing for the Master of Healthcare Leadership – significantly reducing the cost of your degree and the length of your study.
