The Cost of Attendance (“COA”) is a technical term utilized to provide an estimate of the total amount of a student’s educational expenses during their enrollment. The components of COA are: (x) tuition and fees (books, course materials, supplies, and equipment) (“Direct College Expenses”); and (y) an allowance for (i) transportation; (ii) miscellaneous personal expenses; (iii) living expenses (including food and housing costs); (iv) a professional license and (v) dependent care and/or disability accommodations, where necessary (“Life Expenses”). This website only provides information related to Direct College Expenses; it does not include Life Expenses.
Please keep in mind that tuition and fees are subject to change. Total estimated tuition and fees are based on an estimated education plan. Students taking longer to graduate and/or enrolling in additional terms will incur additional term-based fees. Students who repeat coursework will incur additional tuition charges based on the cost of repeated coursework.

An ADN (Associate Degree in Nursing) is a type of nursing degree that can lead to becoming an RN (Registered Nurse).
ADN programs typically take 2-3 years to complete and focus on the core nursing courses needed to become an RN, whereas a BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) program is a 4-year degree that includes additional general education courses and additional nursing coursework.
Once a student completes either an ADN or BSN program and passes the NCLEX-RN exam, they are eligible to become a licensed RN.
Yes, an ADN is different from an LPN.
An ADN is an Associate Degree in Nursing, which is a two-year degree that prepares graduates to become registered nurses (RNs). On the other hand, an LPN is a licensed practical nurse. LPNs graduate from a certificate program that typically takes about one year to complete, such as the LPN program offered by Jersey College. LPNs work under the supervision of RNs and physicians, while RNs with an ADN degree generally have more opportunities for career advancement and higher salaries.
Learn more in our LPN vs. RN guide.
