The full cost picture, on whichever route you are actually on.
The homepage gives you the two headline numbers. This is everything underneath them — what is included, what is not, and the four things that move the figure after you have already signed.
The published figures, and what sits on top
Chamberlain's own rates against Chamberlain's own credit counts, checked August 2026.
- Pre-licensure BSN
- about $82,350
- 122 credits at roughly $675, tuition only. Some campuses are quoted at $750, which carries it past $91,000.
- RN-to-BSN completion
- about $29,220
- Chamberlain's published total for the route, fees included — 45 credits at about $635 once 77 are granted for prior learning.
- What sits on top
- fees, books, supplies
- Student services charges, an electronic course resource fee, books and equipment. On the pre-licensure route add uniforms, immunisations and background checks.
- What moves it after you sign
- four things
- Your campus rate, a repeated course, a change of track, and how many transfer credits actually clear the audit. Only the last is settleable in advance, and it is the largest.
Every figure here is an order of magnitude rather than a quotation. Rates move by campus, programme and intake, and the only number that binds is the one Chamberlain gives you in writing for your specific start date. Treat this page as the questions to ask, not the answers to rely on.
On the completion route, the transfer audit is the whole game
Seventy-seven credits is a maximum, not a promise. What actually clears depends on your particular transcript, and nobody finds out until they ask.
Get this in writing first
Before you enrol, not after.
- How many credits Chamberlain will accept against your specific ADN or diploma
- Whether any general education requirements remain outstanding
- The per-credit rate for your start date, not the currently published one
- The total with fees, as a single figure
Why it matters this much
The arithmetic is unforgiving.
- Every credit that does not transfer is roughly $635 you had not budgeted
- Ten credits short is over $6,000 — a fifth of the published total
- It also adds a session, and sessions carry their own fees
- An audit costs nothing and takes one phone call
We will get your real number, not the brochure one.
Twenty minutes, free. Nobody here is paid whichever school you pick.
- The rate at your nearest campus rather than the national headline
- A realistic read on how many of your credits will clear the audit
- What your employer's tuition assistance covers, and its annual cap
- The same arithmetic run against the schools competing with Chamberlain for you
Ask for the call
You get the figure in writing afterwards, whichever way it points.
