Areas of Study - MS Program Cost of Attendance

Expenses

EXTRA COSTS

In addition to tuition, student fees and living expenses you should budget for some additional costs as part of your graduate school education. These costs include:

  • PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL TUITION: A new supplemental tuition has been requested for the graduate professional degree programs in the Department of Allied Health Sciences, including the MS program in Occupational Therapy. The supplemental tuition of $1750 per semester is in addition to the UNC tuition and fees.  We anticipate that the supplemental tuition will be in effect for the class entering the program in the fall 2007.
  • FIELDWORK: You should plan for extra expenses associated with traveling to a fieldwork site and securing housing there. Students enrolled in OCCT 720A are considered as full time students and are charged regular tuition for First Summer Session of each year enrolled.  Some fieldwork sites may require a criminal record check on students. Students will be informed how to obtain a criminal check. The current cost is $20/state for each state the student has lived in since their 18th birthday
  • BOOKS: The required books form the basis of your professional library. As a result you should anticipate approximately $925 for books and printed material.
  • RESEARCH:  All students complete a required research project in collaboration with another student. Projects may cost from $100 - $500 per student, according to the research question and method selected to answer it. The research faculty works with each collaborative research team to ensure a meaningful project while trying to keep the cost down.
