The current tuition cost per credit hour is published on the website of the university office of Student Accounting. In addition to tuition, students are charged a number of fees by the university. The applicable fees for students in the CCP Program typically include the Academic Infrastructure & Technology fee, Computer Laboratory fee, Professional Liability Coverage, and others.
Students are also required to carry their own personal professional liability coverage, which can be obtained from a number of insurance providers. The costs of such insurance is usually under $50 per year.
Students must also use the time2track platform to track the accumulation of their clinical hours. The cost of using time2track varies based on the length of subscription chosen (e.g., a four-year plan currently costs $214).
Graduate Research Assistantships & Fellowships
CCP Students may be granted a Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA). General information concerning assistantships can be found on the Graduate School website. GRA positions are assigned by CCP Faculty and can include a number of roles and responsibilities. Such responsibilities include, but are not limited to working on specific research projects (e.g., a grant funded research study), performing clinical or consultation services for community partners, and fellowships provided to support students working under their faculty mentor. Students assigned to a GRA position are also typically provided with a Tuition Scholarship. Given that the funds that cover tuition costs vary depending on their source, the Tuition Scholarship associated with a given GRA position may or may not cover all of a student’s tuition. In such instances, the CCP student may be responsible for covering the difference in the total tuition costs. University fees and other non-tuition costs are NOT covered by the Tuition Scholarship. Tuition Scholarships granted for GRA positions and fellowships may not be applied to courses outside of the degree program. The CCP Faculty strive to provide secure funding to provide CCP Students with GRA positions during the entirety of their Program of Study, though this is NOT guaranteed and the assignment of GRA positions is completed on a year-by-year basis. Assistantships pay a minimum stipend of $15,000 per calendar year, but will vary depending upon the source funding the position. Students who, for various reasons, must take an extra year in their doctoral study may be especially vulnerable to not receiving a GRA position during the additional year, though the program will make every effort to identify funding for such students.
