Three dollars and fifty cents.

Depends on the school you take the course at. They tend to charge you a couple hundred bucks per hr at most state schools.

And much less at community colleges. The difference is that if you are not seeking a degree, you're last on the registration priority list. So it's harder to get into the best classes.

You could sign up as a degree seeking student so you get better priority registration for classes and cheaper tuition. I have friends in medical school who've done this and they sometimes still get mail from their post bacc institutions inviting them to come complete their degree lol.

As others have stated, the amount varies. To give you a rough idea, for one unit at my undergrad institution, it costs 1,000 dollars.

Go to a public school. I paid $900 at my state school. My undergrad charges $3K+ per non-degree post-bac class.

It's so terrible. 1 credit at private schools can be upwards of 1.3-1.5k.

I am looking at the tuition rate for 3 credit hours at UT Austin and its 2200 dollars.

Google said school. If they don't have a non-degree option, usually they charge you for grad tuition.

So if I pursue a DIY postbac ill be spending 2.2k dollars for each course. I was planning to take 3 upper level courses

at my state school, I paid the same rate for undergrad classes as a NDSS as I did as an undergrad

The same would be true at my school, too.

How is it possible to pay only 900 dollars for a course when its over 1k for just 1 credit hour?

My public school is $900 ($300/credit). My undergrad (a private school) is $3000 per class (each class is 1 course unit). Sorry if that wasn't clear.
