For the following program costs, go to: Physician Assistant, Occupational Therapy or Nursing (Entry to Practice).

*Tuition does not include $55 per credit hour comprehensive fee.

• Tuition fees are typically established by university trustees in April for the following academic year.
• As you compare the cost of the grad programs you are considering, be sure to add in the mandatory semester-based and per hour fees (e.g. technology fee) that many schools charge in addition to tuition. You'll find that St. Bonaventure compares very favorably with other private institutions and may be closer to public college costs than you think.
• Similarly, be sure to examine the length of the programs you are considering. Several of SBU's education degrees require 30 hours, compared with 33-39 for other Western New York colleges. SBU's shorter programs can cost you less and allow you to enjoy the benefits of a master's degree sooner.
• Be sure, too, to check out SBU's graduate financial aid opportunities.
• Summer terms are part of the next academic year for billing and aid purposes.
