Completely agree. This is the biggest perk about going to Roseman or UoP (though UoP is significantly more expensive). Instead of paying $100k more in tuition, you make $150k.
During orientation at Roseman, we had a 2-hour lecture on financial aid, loans, etc. & I believe in 2021 [could be a different year, I wasn't paying to close attention to the year], the average graduate from Roseman had around $430k in debt. I think people graduating in 2025 will be closer to $500k. However, with this new 3-year program, accounting for living costs, tuition, fees, the average will be around $100k less than previous years (bringing it closer to the average dental school). I was looking at the previous forms & people graduating from the 3-year program in 2026 will have around the same tuition cost as the people that graduated from Roseman in 2016.
I just searched the forms in 2012 (look at
post #16):
ROSEMAN vs. LECOM
2012 Tuition & fees at Roseman were $74k + $76k + 78k+ $81k (assume 3% increase ever year) =
$310k
2023 Tuition & fees at Roseman are $104k + $107k + $110k (assume 3% increase ever year) =
$321k + 1 extra year of income
