Course offerings

Course-based and dual-credit context

Course-by-course pricing and Corban University dual-credit fees make the most sense when matched with the student's actual enrollment path.

Course-based pricing context

Course-based enrollment should be matched to the student's admissions path before enrollment.

Full-time enrollment covers 6 courses per semester; courses above 6 are charged at the individual course rate.

Individual, hybrid, or custom standard courses are listed at $300 per course, per term/semester when a selected-course or additional-course path is approved.

Homeschool families can ask about hybrid enrollment or curriculum-only options during inquiry; admissions confirms whether the course path fits before enrollment.

Corban University dual-credit courses have a $150 fee per course, per term/semester, for eligible students.

Corban University dual-credit courses

Corban University dual-credit eligibility is confirmed by RCA International and does not currently apply to homeschool high school families.
