For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time graduate tuition at DSPT was $22,080, with $180 in required fees. The reported part-time graduate tuition rate was $920 per credit. The same graduate rates were reported for in-state and out-of-state students.
Tuition and required fees together come to $22,260 at the reported full-time rate; that is not a complete annual cost of attendance. Students also need to budget for books, housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses. Current charges may differ from the 2024-25 figures, and an individual's eventual cost depends on course load and any aid awarded. Graduate students should ask DSPT about institutional scholarships, eligibility for federal loans, and the application steps and deadlines that apply to their program.
Student employment and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study, when available to an eligible student, is a need-based aid program that pays wages for an approved job; an ordinary part-time job does not require a Work-Study award.
Graduate applicants should ask DSPT's financial aid office whether their program and aid package permit Work-Study and how approved positions are advertised. They can also ask academic departments about paid assistantships or other work connected to teaching and research. A job offer, an aid award, and an internship should be evaluated separately: each has different eligibility, pay, and academic-credit rules.
