All You Can Learn
UW Flexible Option programs feature flat rate tuition. You take as many online classes as you are able in a 12-week subscription period for a single cost. We call this the “All-You-Can-Learn” option. Since it is a flat rate, the more courses you take in a subscription period, the lower your cost-per-class becomes and, better yet, the quicker you graduate.

Single Course Option
UW Flexible Option programs also offers a one-course-at-a-time tuition, for those students who want to go slower or who want to focus on one specific class in a subscription period. This format costs 50% less than the all-you-can-learn tuition rate.
