SLP schools without out of state tuition?

[rach0317]

I am a resident of Michigan and want to apply out of state, but the out of state tuition at most schools is too much! Does anyone know of schools that have the same tuition for in state and out of state students, but are not distance learning programs? Thanks!

The only school I can think of is University of Nebraska at Omaha, but you are not automatically given state tuition. They have a scholarship program where you can earn in-state tuition for a number of credits. I applied for it and I got approved for all of my fall, spring and summer credits to be reduced for in-state tuition and it was pretty easy. They also have a Midwest student exchange program, but I don't remember if Michigan is included or not. You may check out other schools to see if they have a Midwest student exchange program as well, since they also reduce tuition. Other than that, private schools offer the same tuition to all applicants, but they are usually very expensive. However, if you can get a grant or scholarship (which most private schools seem to be generous with funding) you may be able to make it doable.

There are quite a few schools that offer tuition reduction or remission packages with their offers of admission -- this means your out of state tuition rate is reduced to in-state rates.  If you are interested in a school for all of the right reasons, you may just be lucky enough to get an offer including the tuition reduction.  Try it! :-)

Please don't judge schools by the "sticker price"! The school I chose had the highest price per credit hour, but offered a generous scholarship/assistantship, and has less total credit hours throughout the program.  

 

For example, my school counts our clinical practicum (12 hrs/week) as 1 credit hour per semester, while other schools count the same clinical hours (12/week) as 3 or even 6 credit hours per semester! Yikes!  Look into any fees, # of credit hours, assistantships/grants/scholarships/work study before ruling out a dream school Good luck!

Minot State University in North Dakota has no out of state tuition. Hope that helps.
