$0 Tuition Cost
You must be an Atrium Health teammate and earn less than $55,000 to apply to this program. Teammates will use their $1,500 Educational Assistance (EdAssist) benefit. If you earn less than $55,000, you will be provided a “letter of credit” to Cabarrus College, so you don’t have to worry about getting reimbursed.
Take up to 12 credit hours (usually four classes) as a non-degree student with a tuition rate of
$80/credit hour. At this rate, you will still have EdAssist dollars left for books.
12 College Credits Toward a Certificate or Degree
Successfully complete up to four courses as a non-degree student and earn 12 credits toward one of more than 10 degrees in nursing or health sciences at Cabarrus College*.
