Tuition
Tuition and fees vary based on the year in which the student is enrolled in the DPT program and whether you are a Maryland state resident.
Tuition and Fees for DPT Program
Required Device
The Department of Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Science (PTRS) will issue the required device to all incoming DPT Program students that the department specifies for their particular cohort. The device will be distributed at new student orientation. The fee for this device will appear on your tuition bill from Student Accounting. The projected cost of the device is approximately $900 which includes a 4 year warranty with on-site next business day service. There is no negotiation on using another device or exceptions to this policy. Students are financially responsible for the cost of the required device as soon as they matriculate into the DPT Program.

VA Benefits
Upon receipt of your Enrollment Certification form, the department's SCO (School Certifying Official) will certify your enrollment to the VA using the Veterans Enrollment Management system. Once enrollment is certified, your tuition is paid directly to Student Accounting. In accordance with federal regulations, GI Bill® students should not be imposed a late fee, and therefore, a list of GI Bill® students is reported to Student Accounting to prevent penalty.
All new and continuing veteran and dependent students who are eligible for and intending to use educational benefits are REQUIRED to submit the following documentation to ptadmissions@som.umaryland.edu
