Frequently Asked Questions
When does the program start?
How much does the program cost?
Choose either the 3-credit or 6-credit option based on what works best for your schedule and graduation plans.
6-credit option: Program fee equals 6 credits at the in-state tuition rate
3-credit option: Program fee equals 3 credits at the in-state tuition rate
Money-saving tip: GCA is not included in block tuition. To stay within the equivalent cost of block tuition, you can rebalance your schedule—for example, 6 credits of Mason courses + 6 credits of GCA or 9 regular credits + 3 GCA credits—to keep their total enrolled credits at 12 and maintain their typical tuition cost while staying full-time.
