Tuition & Fees
Deposit Requirement
In order to secure a place in the program, admitted students must pay a nonrefundable deposit of $2,000 to the university by the deadline stated in the acceptance letter. The deposit is credited toward the student's tuition upon matriculation. Under no circumstances can the acceptance deposit be waived. Students who fail to submit their deposit by the deadline forfeit their place in the entering class. Students who make deposits but do not enroll on the agreed date lose their deposits.
Technology
Students will be responsible for purchasing a laptop computer to use throughout this program.

*Due to COVID-19, in-person residencies may be postponed, virtual or canceled.
Tuition and fees may be subject to change annually and are approved by the Board of Trustees each spring. Students are responsible for the purchase of books and course materials.
