The Counseling Psychology program has limited funds for financial assistance including Teaching Assistantships and Graduate Assistantships. There are several sources of financial assistance available for qualified students including student loans. All students admitted to the program will be informed of the financial assistance available and provided with the appropriate application forms. For student loans, however, you should contact the Gannon Financial Aid Office directly. Tuition rates and fees are subject to change and are set by the Board of Trustees of Gannon University.
Tuition is charged on a per-credit basis.
This program is founded upon the principle of a strong advising relationship between faculty and students. Each entering student's transcript is evaluated for past academic coursework and the doctoral program is designed with this background as a consideration. It is anticipated that students entering with a strong background in counseling may have approximately 40 hours of this program waived based upon their prior academic preparation. It seems reasonable and possible for a candidate entering the program with a master's degree to complete the program within four years.
