The É侫ÊÓƵ Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program has locked-in tuition rates for each incoming class. The tuition rate approved by the University each year will be guaranteed throughout the cohort's time in the program. The institutional fees and other program costs are estimated to help the student plan accordingly.  Â

Other DPT Program-related Expenses

- Laptop Computer – Given the need for students to be able to find, analyze and use information, the Department of Physical Therapy Exercise Science requires that all students have a laptop computer for use throughout the DPT curriculum. The computer will be used during lecture and laboratory sessions on campus as well as online courses that run concurrently with full-time clinical internships. We do not require a specific brand of computer for these studies. Requirements are subject to change. It is the applicant's responsibility to contact the Office of Graduate Admission or the Department of Physical Therapy and Exercise Science to inquire if there are changes before submitting an application through PTCAS.

Cost for Class of 2025
For the cohort of students entering the DPT program in May 2023 and graduating in December 2025, the total program cost will be an estimated $101,824. This does not include housing and living-related expenses, travel and housing during clinical education, and technology expenses (laptop required). Â
Cost for Freshman Direct Entry Point
For the students entering the DPT program through the Freshman Direct Entry Point, students will pay undergraduate tuition rates for Semesters 1-6 of the undergraduate Exercise Science Degree. The tuition rate for Semesters 7 and 8 (students are still classified as undergraduate seniors, but enrolled in "dual credit" DPT graduate courses that count as undergraduate electives to fulfill the 128 credit hours) has yet to be determined. Â
