Estimated Cost of Attendance

The Cost of Attendance (COA) is the maximum amount of financial assistance available to a student in one academic year. The COA is determined using each student’s enrollment and residency classification (Resident or Non-Resident). For the DPT program, tuition is charged per credit. The tuition in the COA is based upon enrollment of 45 credits between the summer, fall, and spring semesters.

Applicants are awarded 100% of the Cost of Attendance with assistance from federal and institutional resources.
