The prescribed course sequence will allow you to

complete the course requirements of the program

within 24 - 30 months. The dissertation process

varies from student-to-student, but most can

complete their dissertation in 18 months. Costs

will also vary by student because we allow transfer

credit for up to 2 approved courses. Based on

completing 46 course hours and 9 dissertation

hours, the cost of the program is *$19,638 including

standard University fees. In many cases our costs

are more than half the rate of similar programs.

We encourage you to compare our cost with any

other institution. We think you will be pleasantly

surprised to see what a great value VSU is.

*Cost computed based on Fall 2014 rates.
