CHICAGO - University of Illinois trustees meeting in Chicago are expected to set tuition rates for the first degrees offered by the new Global Campus.
The new, online campus is expected to open in January. The first degrees are expected to be a bachelor of science in nursing and a master's of education.
The agenda for the meeting indicates the nursing program would cost more than $18,000. That's 50 percent more than the tuition for a traditional nursing degree at Illinois.
Tuition for the master's degree would be almost $14,000, about 20 percent less than its traditional counterpart.
Trustees are also expected to vote on a $6.7 million line of credit for the Global Campus.
