USU PhD Program: Combined Clinical/Counseling/School Psychology
Program Costs (2009-2010)
Tuition for resident graduate students is $417.57 per credit and $1463.34 for nonresident students. In general, students carry 10-12 credits per semester with overall tuition costs of $1893.21 - $2221.13 (resident) or $7773.82 - $7631.11 (non-resident).
Fees range from $257.19 for one credit to $358.53 for 10 or more credits.
All incoming doctoral students are guaranteed an assistantship which "waives" them to the resident tuition schedule and students in the Combined Program generally pay in-state tuition during their graduate training. Based on the policy, a nonresident student who holds a graduate assistantship receiving at least $350 per month may be awarded a waiver of the nonresident portion of tuition for courses in the student's degree program. Out-of-state, non international graduate students who receive nonresident tuition waivers must apply for Utah residency at the end of their first year of study.
In addition, Utah State University has a Resident Tuition Remission for Doctoral Students. A student who is matriculated in a doctoral degree program and is a graduate assistant or graduate fellow receiving at least $600 per month may be awarded a resident (in state) tuition remission. The student must be registered for at least 9 credits. The waiver and/or remission are available for a maximum of 12 credits per semester with the number of eligible credits indicated on the Program of Study, which must be submitted by the end of the second semester for a master's student and the end of the third semester for a doctoral student. Audited courses do not qualify for the waiver/remission. For the full policy, please see the graduate school web site at http://www.usu.edu/graduateschool/
