Occupational Therapy Program

Tuition

Occupational Therapy

Tuition Rates

The Board of Regents and the University of Utah Administration have designated the Occupational Therapy program as one of the programs with differential tuition for all students. Students will be required to pay an increased amount of tuition--in addition to regular tuition. These monies are earmarked specifically for the Occupational Therapy program to help support our curriculum and programs.

Class Fees

There will also be fees for certain classes and labs. We estimate around $300 to $500 for textbooks based on the semester. We encourage students to purchase used or e-books to reduce costs. The OT faculty work together to coordinate textbook needs. For example, a book you'll purchase for your first semester will continue to be used throughout the curriculum. Textbooks are also a great resources for the NBCOT exam and in practice.
