Ohio's bursar publishes current Athens graduate charges and a DPT-specific $52-per-credit program charge, but a single DPT tuition-only amount was not independently established.
Rate period: 2026-2027
- General fees and program charges are separate from instructional tuition. A credit-load and residency-specific DPT calculation is needed; generic graduate totals are not presented as full DPT tuition.
PTCAS COMBINED PROGRAM COST
