Program Cost
Tuition
Tuition for academic year 2013–2014 is calculated by course credit and sums to $30,063 ($27,330 for New Hampshire residents) for a typical student on both the 14-month and 24-month pathways.
Because courses are heavily concentrated in the summer months—which is when housing and travel costs are also higher—MADPP has a differential fee schedule to allow more level payments across all four semesters. Thus, most semester costs range from $6,864 to $7,260 ($6,240 to $6,600 for New Hampshire residents), which includes one elective in each of the two residential summers. Students may schedule their third required elective, as well as additional optional electives, in either a residential summer term or a January online term; each elective results in additional tuition for that term of $1,815 (or $1,650 for New Hampshire residents).
Sample tuition payments for students follow:
