The UW-Stevens Point Doctor of Physical Therapy program was designed using what is called a cost recovery model. In this model students are charged a flat fee per credit of $540.00, instead of tuition.
The cost recovery model has several benefits. One of the benefits is that students are charged the same fee per credit whether an in-state or out-of-state resident. Another benefit is that the fees return to the program, allowing the DPT program to provide an excellent educational experience and control costs.
As everyone is aware student debt load has become a serious issue, the cost recovery model allows the UWSP DPT program to be a good return on investment for graduate students looking to become a doctor of physical therapy.
The current fee structure is planned to remain at $540.00 per credit through 2024, so the total program costs estimates linked here should be a reliable estimate for students entering the program in 2022.
