Program Overview
The Accelerated Dual-Degree Pathway at Newstate University is a high-speed, high-ROI educational model designed for working professionals. It combines a Bachelor of Applied Science in Business and AI (BASBA) with one of three specializations and a Master of Business Administration in Artificial Intelligence (MBAI) into a single, streamlined timeline.
This pathway to an MBAI is the radical redesign of higher education for the high-impact professional.
Unlike traditional degree programs that lock you into rigid semesters and high tuition, we offer a radically affordable model that lets you start instantly.
Radically Affordable: How does the $300/month model work?
We have replaced skyrocketing tuition with a simple, flat, monthly cost.
- Flat-Rate Tuition: You pay just $300 per month. There are no hidden fees, no textbook costs, and no surprises.
- Debt-Free Accessibility: By removing the barrier of high upfront costs, we make elite AI education accessible to everyone. You can pay as you go, avoiding the crippling burden of student loans.
- The "Speed Discount": Because our program is competency-based, the faster you learn, the less you pay. If you sprint through your courses, your total degree cost drops significantly.

Understanding educational costs: A comparison
Radically affordable college is possible
At Newstate University, we've redesigned higher education pricing to make quality education accessible. We have the technology. We can rebuild it.
When evaluating higher education options, cost is a critical factor for working adults. Traditional and online universities structure their pricing in different ways, making it important to understand the various models. Newstate University combines competency-based education with a radically affordable pricing model:
- $300 flat monthly tuition ($3,600 annually, start, pause, or stop anytime)
- No additional fees
- Start any day of the year
- Progress at your own pace, accelerate with credit for prior learning and credentials
- No additional costs for course materials and resources
- Built in career networking
We build Newstate University because it's time. Higher education should be relevant, valuable, and affordable. It should be human. It should be debt-free.
There are others in the space of adult education. Those other degrees are on average 4x the cost of a degree from Newstate University (compare to a yearly average tuition cost of $8,300 annually at Western Governors University1, and $10,260 at Southern New Hampshire University2).
Our university is different.
