Core Speech-Language Pathology Program
Tuition & Fees

The tuition rates and fees for the Core Speech-Language Pathology Master's of Science degree are established by the Office of the Vice Provost for Planning and Budget at the University of Washington. The 2012-2013 Quarterly Tuition and Fee Distribution schedule is now available. Core Speech-Language Pathology master’s students are charged the Graduate Tier 1 rates and fees for the Seattle campus.

Please note that students enrolled in the Core Speech-Language Pathology program are eligible for all graduate student services, including financial aid, campus healthcare, housing, and insurance. Students with questions regarding tuition, fees, financial aid, or billing should contact Student Fiscal Services directly.

1) Non-Refundable Program Deposit

Once accepted, all new students must submit a $250 deposit to the UW Registrar to secure a space in the program. Initial acceptance notifications are emailed in March. The mandatory $250 deposit is applied toward the first quarter tuition total, but is due immediately at the time of acceptance. Entering students may not wait until financial aid is distributed to submit the deposit.

2) Tuition

Tuition costs are dependent upon residency status. In accordance with the laws of Washington State, "in-state students" are charged a different credit hour rate than "out-of-state" students. For more information about Washington state residency, please visit the UW Residency Office website and review the information provided on Graduate and Professional Student Waivers. Please note that tuition does not include the cost of textbooks or materials and is subject to change.
