Tuition
Tuition for the Transitional DPT program is $9,500 for the entire program during the 2012-13 academic year. Tuition is due two weeks before the start of class.
Payment Plan
A quarterly tuition payment plan is available. Under the payment plan, a payment of $2,287.50 is due each quarter throughout the first year of the program. A nonrefundable $175 one-time service fee will be charged with the first payment.
Loans
Since the program is linear in nature and has modules, none of the students enrolled are considered half-time. Therefore, no Transitional DPT student is eligible for any federal loans.
If a loan is necessary, students may inquire about a private loan at www.studentloanlistings.com.
Employer Tuition Reimbursement
The tDPT program qualifies for most reimbursement programs. ATSU is regionally accredited by the North Central Association for Colleges and Schools, Commission on Higher Education. Many other students have been allowed to apply continuing education funds to the program. Since most academic degree plans cross two calendar years, many students have received almost full reimbursement for the program.
Veterans Educational Benefits
The tDPT program works with Veterans Educational Benefits. For more information, visit A.T. Still University - Registrar - Veteran's Benefits.
