Save program & plan →Tuition and published program costs
Official 2026 financial fact sheet; entering-cohort estimates publishes tuition-only program estimate(s). Published tuition: $82,340.75 In-state (published program total, 2026 financial fact sheet; entering-cohort estimates).
Rate period: 2026 financial fact sheet; entering-cohort estimates
- Published tuition-only estimates; institutional fees, insurance, program expenses and living costs are separate. Future years are estimates, not guaranteed charges. Review scope is the tuition row, not the entire financial sheet. Nonresident total omitted because the extracted row leaves later years blank; residency assumptions need review.
PTCAS COMBINED PROGRAM COST
- In-state
- $89,899
- Out-of-state
- $108,841
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.
