Per Credit Hour?

Can anyone explain to me per credit hour? Is it simply the number of credits x amount per credit hour?

I am trying to figure out an estimated cost per year of Temple University's DPT Program.

Anyone know?
Thanks!

yes. let's say they charge $700/credit hour. Find out how many credit hours the program is and multiply that by 700.

so if i take 15 credits in a semester, then just 15 X $$$?

yes. If they specifically charge per credit hour. Some schools give a flat tuition rate for anything 12 credits and over.

And looks like 130 credit hours in the program:

So instate you're looking at $93k for tuition alone if it's all strictly per credit hour (with no max amount per semester). If anyone knows what the associated fees are, I'd be interested to find out.

Holy crap, that's expensive. 3x the cost of TWU and most Texas PT programs!

Yes it is very expensive. I am asking because I am figuring out cost differences between Jefferson , which give a flat rate of about 31,500/year, and Temple.

GTT, if your estimate is correct, Jefferson is about 2,500 more overall. I am trying to figure out Temple's cost so I can decide which program to attend. If difference is less than 5K/year I dont really care but if it is anything more I may look into the cheaper program.

I don't know what is more stressful, waiting to get accepted or choosing between your top 2 programs of choice.
