DPT Program Cost of Attendance
Tuition & Fees:
Tuition for Florida State Medical schools is at a flat yearly rate, regardless of the actual hours a student is enrolled. Tuition and Fees are estimated in the Cost of Attendance using the prior aid year’s tuition and fees. For more information about tuition, fees, and payments, please visit the Registrar’s Tuition Information Page.
Housing & Food:
These are the cost estimates that the average student may incur during each year of enrollment. While actual expenses will vary among students, the estimated total cost of living will allow for a moderate standard of living. The calculation for housing expenses is one-half of the average rental rate, plus utilities for a two-bedroom apartment within a 10-mile radius of the Campus. Students are expected to share living facilities to help reduce expenses. Students should budget and plan accordingly for expenses incurred during periods of non-enrollment.
Books & Supplies:
Actual prices of required texts for each class are included. In addition, this component includes an allowance for tool kits and miscellaneous supplies. The cost for a computer/laptop is not included in the standard cost of attendance but can be included on a case-by-case basis. Students should contact the financial aid office to explore this option.
Personal Expenses:
The estimated cost in this category includes expenses for entertainment, laundry, personal hygiene, medical and dental care, required immunizations, screenings, and background checks. It also covers the cost of required health and disability insurance.
Transportation:
Commuting costs (to and from campus) are included in the transportation component. Travel costs to area hospitals and/or clinical sites are also included.
Loan Fees:
Federal loan fees are determined based on the average fees incurred by similarly classified borrowers during the previous academic year. These fees will be added if the student borrows federal loans.
