Pricing Plans
Individual Full Program Price: $250
Individual Payment Plan: Monthly payment of $50/month from August to December
Studio Full Program Price: $550
Studio option: A university can register its entire studio for $550 total, or groups of 3 or more students can register for the studio rate.
That means:
3 students = $183.33/person
4 students = $137.50/person
5 students = $110/person
10 students = $55/person
15 students = $36.67/person
