Tuition
Our current tuition is listed here. We are one of the most affordable doctoral programs in the region, and we pride ourselves on our transparency--no hidden or last-minute fees--and no increases--you are locked into the tuition that you begin with for each semester for the three years (if you take a leave of absence you will be charged the current tuition, however).
