Tuition and Fees
Although the School of Medicine and Public Health administers the Physical Therapy degree, students enrolled in the Program are considered to be graduate students for purposes of fees and tuition. Full time graduate tuition will apply, even though more than a full time number of credits are taken some semesters. Please see the Registrar web site for more tuition and fee information.
