Tuition and Fees

The University of Miami Physical Therapy Program utilizes block tuition.  This means you pay by semester rather than by credit hour.  For the Physical Therapy Program, the cost for block tuition is substantially lower than the cost would be for all the graduate credit hours required by the curriculum.  For each incoming class, the block tuition cost is held constant throughout the 9 semesters of the program.   This means that your tuition costs for your first semester will be the same as your tuition costs for your last semester.

For the May 2009 incoming class, block tuition will be $8500.00 per semester.
