Tuition and Fees
Tuition at ABI is $325 per credit, or $975 per course. In order to ensure the highest quality platform for online education, we use E-college, a professional course management firm that provides the software used in all courses. The technology fee of $140 provides unlimited access to all online materials, electronic tutoring, forums, chatrooms, and a 24/7 technology support desk accessible via telephone or email. Thus, the total cost of a typical course, not including specific class material (such as a textbook), would be:

Refund Policy
At the start of each class, students have seven days to review all course material, take practice exams, contact their professors, and verify that the course will meet their educational needs and objectives. Full refunds of all tuition and fees, including technology fees, are available up to seven days after the course has started. No refunds will be issued after this seven day period.
