APU tuition fees are composed of a fi xed tuition amount plus tuition per course credit. The annual tuition fee amount is calculated by combining ‘Tuition A (fixed tuition)’ with ‘Tuition B (tuition per credit – 20,500 yen per registered course credit)’. Generally, students need to earn a total of at least 124 credits over four years to graduate from APU. The amount of ‘Tuition B (tuition per credit)’ is calculated by applying a standard credit model based on a maximum of 124 credits as required for graduation. Actual numbers of credits taken by individual students may vary, but this standard credit model is applied to all students for the purposes of calculating Tuition B.
