Spring Entry – Part to Full-Time Counseling Plan (2.5 years)

This program is most popular because it

• is designed for people who wish to start part-time and move to full-time, 
• uses Federal Direct student loans to cover most of the tuition costs and some living expenses, and
• offers time to integrate the clinical learning with the self reflective aspects of the program.

Financial Example:

Most students who are enrolled full-time qualify for $20,500 (less the origination fee) in Federal Direct Student Loans each academic year, less if enrolled part or three-quarter time. With this plan, Federal Direct Student Loans cover most of the tuition and fees*. 

• Year 1: 12 quarter units at 2017-18 rate of $570 per quarter unit = $6,840 + $165 fees = $7,005
• Year 2*: 38 units at 2017-18 rate of $570 per quarter unit = $21,660 + $495 fees = $22,155
• Year 3*: 41 quarter units at 2017-18 rate of $570 per quarter unit = $23,370 + $660 fees = $24,030

If the tuition and fees owed in a year exceed the amount of student loans available, additional funds from scholarships, savings, work income, gift or loan from family are needed. Tuition and fees are due at registration. Payment plans are available to assist you.

Additional costs (living expenses, books, personal therapy requirement, travel expenses, etc.) are not included in the above calculations but are estimated in the Cost of Attendance. 

* Please note that tuition and fees typically increase each fall. These numbers are used to provide an example of anticipated tuition and fees, but they will change annually.
