Program Statistics 2000-2007
General Information
Program Cost
$961.00 per credit hour (quarter hours) - PsyD students are required to attend for the four (4) quarters of the academic year thus completing the 135 required credits and all academic requirements in three (3) years of residency. This is a financial advantage over other programs that require students to be in residence for four (4) years or more. The University of Denver charges GSPP students flat-rate tuition, charging students the same fee for 12-18 credits per quarter, so a student's overall tuition cost is determined by how students arrange their schedule.
Financial aid is available as loans, scholarships, fellowships, grants, work study and student work positions (TA, clinic assistantships)
