Below are the approximate tuition and fees for the full 21-month program if students were attending in 2012-2013. The program is for 5 semesters, including the summer between the first & second year. If students need to take extra time to finish their independent research project, they will need to register for additional tuition and fees. Tuition rates for 2013-2014 should be available in April 2013. The cost of textbooks is not included. Tuition payments are due at the beginning of each semester. There will most likely be a tuition raise in the second year that will increase the total cost.

Matriculated graduate students can apply for residency in their last 2 semesters if they have established legal ties to Utah and completed 40 credit hours in courses numbered 5000 or above. This credit hour level should be reached by the end of summer semester. All students pay resident rates in the summer. International students cannot quality for Utah residency but can qualify for fellowship awards (see below). For rules about residency visit: www.sa.utah.edu/edu/admiss/residency/index.htm.

Students may be enrolled in a group or individual policy, have coverage on their parents' or spouse's insurance, or have student health insurance (see http://www.studenthealth.utah.edu/services/index.htm). Students are encouraged to have health insurance coverage for their dependents also. The program does not cover the cost of health insurance.
