Fall Entry – 3-Year Art Therapy/Counseling Program Plan

This 3-year program offers students

  • time to integrate the clinical learning with the self reflective aspects of the program
  • Federal Direct student loans to cover most of the tuition costs
  • an opportunity to work part-time and study primarily full-time

Example:

Most students who are enrolled full-time qualify for $20,500 (less the origination fee)in Federal Direct Student Loans each academic year, less if enrolled part- or three-quarter-time. Withthis plan, cover most, but not all, tuition* and fees.

If the tuition and fees owed in a year exceed the amount of student loans available, additional funds fromscholarships, savings, work income, gifts or loans from family are needed. Tuition is due at registration. Payment plans are available to assist you.

Additional costs (living expenses, books, personal therapy requirement, travel expenses, etc.)are notincluded in the above calculations but are estimated in the Cost of Attendance.

* Please note that tuition and fees typically increase each fall. These numbers are used to provide an example of anticipated tuition and fees, but they will change annually.
