Costs
For the Fall 2022 incoming class, we expect to recruit 4 new students. Doctoral students in clinical psychology have traditionally received an Assistantship consisting of 24 credit hours tuition remission per year and a stipend for four years of study. Due to current budget constraints, our funding availability going forward is unclear. Tuition for the first year of the program is estimated at $17,424.00, with an additional student services fee of approximately $450.00.
