Indirect Costs
Indirect costs are included in your financial aid budget. These are not direct charges from the university, but allowances that are given to cover expenses that you may incur while attending school. The allowances listed below cover 12 months of enrollment — summer, fall, and spring semesters. Students are encouraged to carefully review their budgeted amounts and plan wisely to ensure all expenses are adequately covered.
| Estimated Expenses | Academic Year Amounts |
|---|---|
| Living Costs | $23,400 |
| Transportation/Travel Costs | $4,800 |
| Personal/Miscellaneous Costs | $4,200 |
The living expense allowances are based on the following amounts per month, for the months enrolled:
- Living Expenses: $1,950/month (housing, food, utilities)
- Transportation: $400/month
- Personal/Miscellaneous: $350/month
Books, Supplies, Course Materials, and Equipment
Physician Assistant students are required to purchase books and other instructional materials for the program. These costs will vary depending on specific courses you are taking. An amount of $1,900 is budgeted for the first year of the program and $250 for the second year. Your actual expenses may vary.
