Tuition and published program costs

Program page quotes tuition-only totals of $76,325 resident and $138,028 nonresident, but calls the period only the current academic year.

Rate period: Effective academic year not named

  • The page describes 113 credits. No explicit effective academic year was verified, so these figures remain dated-status unresolved. Program expenses and living costs are separate.

PTCAS COMBINED PROGRAM COST

In-state
$84,906
Out-of-state
$146,610

Full-program tuition, fees and other program costs combined; not tuition alone or a complete living-cost budget. Reported in cycle 2026-2027; the rate year is not separately specified. Do not substitute this figure for tuition in your budget.
