Amounts shown are for first year (12 months) in the program. In- residence students are full- time only and are provided a funding package that includes a full tuition waiver, a stipend for a 20- hour graduate assistantship, and 50% of their health insurance premium. Graduate students may also apply for federal student loans to supplement their stipend. Students are permitted to enroll in part- time hours when working off- site during an advanced (e.g., 5th+) year, when on pre- doctoral clinical internship, and when all other program requirements but the dissertation have been met. These students typically register for dissertation and/or internship hours on a part- time basis (currently $402/credit hour). The out- of- state fee is waived for internship and dissertation regardless of state of residence at the time these requirements are complete.
