Finding Good Samaritan College of Nursing and Health Science charges about 0.5× the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $15,470. That is about 0.5× the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the Ohio median ($15,202), sticker tuition is 2% above. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 30% above.
