Save program & plan →Tuition and published program costs
$9,145.67 ND/MN resident, $13,718.51 other U.S. nonresident, or $16,004.93 international full-time tuition per fall/spring semester; summer is 60% of the semester rate.
Rate period: 2026-2027
- Official public calculator JSON is loaded by the DPT cost page; its graduate/onCampus/physicalTherapy note explicitly states these flat rates. Fees are separate.
- The JSON cap fields are not semester tuition: public tuition-table.js multiplies cap by 2 for the academic-year display. For ND/MN, 11889.37 x 2 = 23778.74, matching 9145.67 x 2.6 after rounding (fall + spring + 60%-summer); the other residency categories reconcile on the same basis.
