5. Tuition and Fees
There are two types of tuition categories for doctoral students:
5.1 Tuition
5.1.a. Full Tuition: tuition for full-time PhD students will be charged at a “Full-Tuition Flat Rate” for the first three years (six terms, excluding summers) of enrollment. Full tuition applies whether the student takes three, four, or five courses in a semester or is on dissertation status. (The fifth course can only be taken as an audit.)
5.1.b. Reduced Tuition: doctoral students are eligible for reduced tuition in year four if
coursework has been completed. If it has, the student will be charged reduced tuition until the degree is awarded or for a maximum of five (5) additional years from the semester the student goes on reduced tuition status.
5.2. Tuition Waiver: doctoral students who defend early in the semester, by the "tuition waiver-defend by date" set by the Office of the Provost, qualify for a tuition waiver (in the form of a refund) for that final term. Because students are charged tuition at the start of the term regardless of the anticipated tuition defense date, it is the student's responsibility to reach out to the Weitzman Registrar to request a tuition refund in instances where the early defense deadline has been met.
