Finding Cayuga Onondaga BOCES-Practical Nursing Program charges about 2.6× the national public median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $14,085. That is about 2.6× the national public median ($5,512). Versus the New York median ($13,810), sticker tuition is 2% above. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 18% above.
