Estimated Cost for Occupational Therapy Program
The Occupational Therapy program at Seton Hall University offers two tracks leading to a Master of Science degree. A dual-degree program links students from the undergraduate division of the University to the graduate program. The senior year for dual-degree students serves as their first year of graduate education in the occupational therapy program (see cost of undergraduate education here). Dual-degree students begin paying graduate tuition in the summer of the first year in the occupational therapy program.
Admitted students may qualify for merit and need based scholarships to offset the costs noted below. For more information, please contact Patrick McDermott, M.A. Assistant Dean for Graduate Enrollment and Student Affairs, School of Health and Medical Sciences at [email protected].
