Counseling Program Plan Options
We offer students in the Master’s in Counseling program a variety of options for moving through the program at a pace that works for them both personally and financially.
Regardless of the pace through at which you move through the program, the cost of tuition is the same (97 quarter units at 2022-23 rate at $625 per quarter unit). However, students enrolled for longer periods of time typically qualify to borrow more money through the Federal Direct Student Loan program because the annual loan cap is $20,500 per academic year.
