*Last year's figure erroneously included the cost of two elective classes that are part of the degree, but not part of the #7201 Certificate.Also in last year's total amount were two Independent study classes that are not part of this certificate.Also, lab fees have been moved out of the "Cost of Programs line" to the "Estimated cost of books and supplies" line.

**It would be rare for any AVM student to take Certificate #7202 as a stand-a-lone certificate.All graduates would complete the #7201 Certificate.The tuition for each is included here.
