Tuition

Students in the Education Ph.D. Program take 6-7 credit-hours of coursework in most semesters (see course sequence outline). This constitutes part-time status (fewer than 9 credit-hours), which qualifies them for tuition-and-fees that are assessed by credit-hour.

Shown below are the schedules of tuition and fees for part-time students during 2007-2008. There are three different schedules:
  1. Schedule for Rhode Island residents.
  2. Schedule for "regional residents" (the Metropolitan Tuition Policy applies to those whose permanent place of residence is a Massachusetts community within 20 miles of Providence: Attleboro, Bellingham, Berkley, Blackstone, Dartmouth, Dighton, Douglas, Easton, Fall River, Foxboro, Franklin, Freetown, Hopedale, Mansfield, Mendon, Millville, Norfolk, North Attleboro, Norton, Plainville, Raynham, Rehoboth, Seekonk, Somerset, Swansea, Taunton, Uxbridge, Westport, Wrentham, and residents of Lakeville who graduated from Apponequet Regional High School).
  3. Schedule for other out-of-state residents.
In order to qualify for schedules (1) or (2), students must provide affidavits of residence (see Application Process).
