You can find out about the estimated cost of attendance at the Graduate School's website (grs.uncg.edu/financial/estimated-cost). Does it matter if I apply early? Yes. Your application is processed as soon as it is received. What if I just want to take a course or two? Do I have to enroll in a program? The VISIONS program is designed just for that purpose. If you need to renew a license, or if you wish to take a class in order to determine if you wish to apply to a program, or if you just have a love of learning, VISIONS may be the answer for you: http://grs.uncg.edu/visions/.
