The estimate multiplies your remaining credits by each school’s published rate; the school notes below say what that rate covers. Known fee components are the mandatory charges we verified. — means no required fee amount is confirmed. No program here has a complete required-fee list we could verify, so no total is shown and these figures are not your full cost. Books, living costs, travel, and financial aid are not included, and future tuition increases are not modeled.

Fee units, residency eligibility, and placement conditions come from each school’s published terms:

Northeastern State University: Credits are semester credits. Northeastern State's standalone Entrepreneurship B.B.A. is gone from its current online program list: that award appears only in the archived 2023-24 catalog. The current catalog offers a Management B.B.A. with an Entrepreneurship and Global Business option, which selects 12 hours from a list of entrepreneurship, international business and small-business courses rather than a full entrepreneurship major. The catalog entry lists the degree as available at Online, Tahlequah and Broken Arrow and prints 'Total Degree Hours - 120 hours', with 40 hours of general education and 63 hours of business core and major. NSU Online says students enrolled in an online degree program complete all coursework online. Online-only tuition for 2026-2027 is $245.25 per credit hour for Oklahoma residents and $246.25 for non-Oklahoma residents, plus $32.75 per credit hour of mandatory fees. The university labels these figures as an estimation. College of Business and Technology courses add a $15.30 per credit hour CBT fee, and the fee list also shows a $40 Business Strategy Policy Testing Fee per enrollment and a $40 per credit hour Academic Enhancement Fee of unstated scope. None of these is spread across all 120 credits. Ask the department to confirm the credit total and which courses are available online, since the option is a set of choices inside the management major.

Lamar University: Credits are semester credits. This is a dedicated Bachelor of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship, not a concentration inside another business degree. The published $314 per-credit rate is described as including the distance learning fee. Books, course materials, and any other per-course charges are not listed in a complete schedule, so ask the school for its fee list. The published 90-hour transfer ceiling is a maximum; the university evaluates each transcript and may accept fewer credits. The page states that transfer credit is awarded only from regionally accredited institutions. Lamar uses semester credit hours (120 credit hours for this degree).

Southern New Hampshire University: Credits are semester credits. Entrepreneurship at SNHU is a 15-credit concentration inside the 120-credit B.S. in Business Administration, not a separately titled entrepreneurship degree. Compare the concentration's five courses before treating it as an entrepreneurship major. The $354 per-credit figure is the online undergraduate rate for 2026-2027. The university's own estimator notes that it does not account for other fees, so ask the school which required fees apply to you. SNHU allows up to 90 transfer credits and requires a minimum of 30 credits at SNHU; the ceiling is a maximum, not a guarantee that specific credits will be accepted. SNHU counts bachelor's degrees as 120 semester credits (40 courses). You pay a known $100 graduation/conferral charge once. Ask the school which other required fees apply to your plan.

American Public University: Credits are semester credits. This is a dedicated online Bachelor of Arts in Entrepreneurship aimed at entrepreneurship study rather than a general business degree with an entrepreneurship elective. The figure shown is the $360 standard undergraduate rate. A $250 preferred military rate and the 10% Veteran and Opportunity grants are also published; ask the school whether you qualify. APU publishes a $0 technology fee per undergraduate course. Ask the school for its complete required-fee schedule before you rely on a total. The 90-credit transfer ceiling is a maximum; credits are evaluated individually, and at least 30 credits must be completed in residence. You pay a known $350 graduation/conferral charge once. Ask the school which other required fees apply to your plan.

Lynn University: Credits are semester credits. This is a standalone online B.S. in Entrepreneurship; the university describes it as IACBE-accredited. Lynn publishes $375 per credit and states that cost estimates are based on 120 total credits, while noting that some programs and courses may have additional costs. Ask the school which extra charges apply to your plan. Lynn does not publish a transfer-credit ceiling for this online program, so ask how many of your credits it will accept. Lynn counts credits in semester credit hours.

Touro University Worldwide: Credits are semester credits. Entrepreneurship at TUW is a 12-credit concentration inside the 120-credit B.S. in Business Administration and Management, not a separately titled entrepreneurship degree. The $400 rate is stated per semester credit and applies to the 120 credits of the degree. Reduced military and alumni rates are published; ask the school whether you qualify. A student using the maximum 90 approved transfer credits still completes at least 30 credits at TUW; the ceiling is a maximum and does not confirm that specific credits transfer. Ask the school for its complete mandatory-fee schedule before you rely on a total.

Northwood University: Credits are semester credits. This is a dedicated entrepreneurship major, offered both on campus and online. Northwood's own FAQ says the online and on-campus versions share the same curriculum, and the degree is ACBSP accredited. The Entrepreneurship major transfer guide totals the degree at 120 credit hours, and the university describes the curriculum as 120 credit hours for each major. One older Northwood articulation guide for a different institution prints 123 semester hours for a BBA, so confirm the total with the school. Tuition for 2026-2027 Northwood Online is $525 per credit hour ($1,575 per three-credit course), the same rate for online and face-to-face study. The same page lists $500 per credit hour for 2025-2026. Known charges: an $80 graduation fee once, $5 per transcript, and a $50 administrative fee for each 8-week module you no-show. 'Inclusive book access' is listed as an estimate of about $30 per credit, so budget it separately rather than treating it as a fixed charge. The transfer guide sets a residency minimum rather than a transfer ceiling: at least 30 Northwood credits, including 9 semester hours in your major discipline. Employer and partner discounts and credit for prior learning are eligibility-based and are not applied to the rate here.

Entrepreneurship degree or concentration: which fits?

Entrepreneurship comes at different levels, and their prices are not interchangeable. A dedicated major requires a defined block of entrepreneurship courses. A concentration places fewer of them inside a general business degree. A certificate has no bachelor’s degree attached. Read the required-course list before comparing prices.

  • A Lamar University B.B.A. in Entrepreneurship is a dedicated 120-credit online degree. Its $314 per credit includes the distance learning fee, but books and other per-course charges are not in a complete schedule.
  • SNHU and Touro University Worldwide each award a business degree with an entrepreneurship concentration (15 and 12 credits respectively), not an entrepreneurship degree.
  • Johnson & Wales offers a Food & Beverage Entrepreneurship completion pathway for applicants with an associate degree in culinary arts or baking and pastry arts.
  • Northwood University offers a 120-credit BBA in Entrepreneurship online and on campus, at $525/credit for 2026–27, plus an $80 graduation fee. Its curriculum is the same online and on campus, and the degree is ACBSP accredited.
  • Northeastern State University does not list a standalone entrepreneurship bachelor’s online in its current catalog; the business program is a 120-hour Management B.B.A. with an Entrepreneurship and Global Business option, priced at $245.25/credit for Oklahoma residents and $246.25 for others plus $32.75/credit mandatory fees (2026–27, labeled as estimates).

The table uses the credits you assume a school has accepted and the rate it publishes, checked October 12–13, 2026. None of the seven publishes a complete mandatory-fee schedule, so totals stay “Not confirmed” and nothing is ranked by total cost. A lower rate is not automatically a lower bill. The school notes under the table list each program’s fees, transfer ceiling and military or alumni rates.

Other ways schools charge

These programs cannot be shown as a single per-credit rate, so they are described here.

  • Western Carolina University offers its B.S.B.A. in Innovation Leadership and Entrepreneurship fully online at 120 total hours. Undergraduate tuition is set by the state’s NC Promise plan, which the university says applies to “all undergraduate students, both residential and online.” WCU publishes semester tuition and fee schedules, not a per-credit rate.
  • Liberty University lists a 120-credit online BSBA in Entrepreneurship. Its 2026-2027 online schedule prices undergraduate study per hour by enrollment load: $410 full-time, $475 part-time, $250 military. It adds a per-semester technology fee and a book/content charge.
  • Strayer University charges per course. Its tuition page shows $1,555 per course, a $65 technology fee per term and a $150 final academic requirements evaluation fee per degree. The entrepreneurship option is a concentration inside the B.B.A..

More schools to consider

  • University of Colorado Denver: its entrepreneurship major is a campus program with online course options, not an online degree.
  • Columbia College: it publishes a $430 per-credit online undergraduate rate and a 120-semester-hour plan, but that plan sits in a catalog the college has marked archived, and the degree page does not say this program is offered online.

Other online entrepreneurship programs may cost less. We could not confirm a current degree, delivery format or price for them.

Questions to ask before you apply

  • Ask for a written evaluation of your previous credits and the minimum number you must complete at the school. A transfer ceiling (90 hours at Lamar, 90 credits at SNHU, APU and Touro) is a maximum, not a promise your courses transfer.
  • Confirm the concentration’s required courses are offered online in the terms you plan to use.
  • Ask for the complete list of required fees for those terms.
  • Military, veteran, grant, partnership and cohort prices depend on eligibility your state of residence does not establish. The figures here are standard published rates, so ask which rate you qualify for.
  • Financial aid changes what you pay, not the published price. Start with our FAFSA guide.
  • A degree or concentration does not by itself establish any professional license.

Are these schools accredited?

Yes. Every school in this comparison is institutionally accredited, according to the U.S. Department of Education's College Navigator or the school itself (checked October 2026).

  • Higher Learning Commission: American Public University, Northwood University, Northeastern State University
  • Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Colleges: Lamar University, Lynn University
  • New England Commission of Higher Education: Southern New Hampshire University
  • WASC Senior College and University Commission: Touro University Worldwide

Program-specific accreditation, such as for business or counseling programs, is separate; check it on each program's page.

How long does an online entrepreneurship bachelor's take?

Here is what each school says about time to finish. Transfer credit and course load change it.
