Physical Therapy (DPT) - Costs & Financial Aid
A USciences education just became more affordable.
In fall 2018, for students who are accepted into our accelerated, 6-year physical therapy doctoral program, we’ve lowered and simplified the tuition and general fee*.
So you’ll know the full price to earn that degree from the day you begin—no hidden fees, additional price increases, or surprises during the course of your education—making the tuition equation easier to understand.
* This pricing does not include room and board or any professional, clinical, or transportation fees.
- This pricing includes a general University fee, which remains consistent throughout the course of your enrollment in your program of study.
- Additional classes outside your program of study will be charged at current established per credit rate.
- You can take up to a year away from school without your tuition schedule changing.
- General scholarships are available including merit, legacy, sibling, and athletic.

Additional Information Regarding Clinical Experiences
Students are expected to travel outside of the tri-state area for all of the clinical experiences. Costs incurred for travel, housing, tolls, food, parking, etc. are the responsibility of the student. In addition, students are responsible for health and safety requirements such as fingerprinting, required by most clinical rotation sites. Students may use Federal or Alternative Educational Loan funding to help with the miscellaneous costs related to clinical experiences. Contact the Financial Aid Office for further information.
