Differential Tuition
The Utah Board of Regents and University of Utah have approved the Doctor of Physical Therapy program to assess differential tuition to students in the DPT Salt Lake City and St. George pathways. Differential tuition is charged in addition to the standard graduate tuition rate. Differential tuition covers the additional resources required to provide graduate professional and clinical training.
Residency for Tuition Purposes
Tuition at the University of Utah is charged at a different rate for Utah residents versus non-residents. Tuition for the Hybrid pathway is not charged based on residency. For eligible students in the Salt Lake City or St. George pathways, applying to reclassify as a resident will reduce the cost of tuition to the resident rate. A student admitted as a non-resident should review the information about residency reclassification, deadlines, and the application process and begin the process of establishing residency as soon as admission. Read the Residency for Tuition Purposes website carefully and review all rules and requirements.
For eligible students, the residency reclassification application will need to be submitted by July 1 of the second year of the DPT program to take effect for the Fall semester of the second year. Eligible students must begin the process of establishing residency and demonstrating physical presence in the state of Utah immediately upon the start of the DPT program.
WICHE
The DPT Program at the University of Utah has been approved by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) as a participant of the Professional Student Exchange Program (PSEP). The program enables students in Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, Wyoming, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the North Mariana Islands to attend graduate school in Utah at the resident rate.
