The costs of attending UNC varies depending upon your residency status. The Counseling Psychology Program is a member of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education’s (WICHE) Western Regional Graduate Program. What membership in the WRGP means is that applicants who are residents of 15 western states (Alaska, Arizona, California,Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming) would qualify for resident tuition status starting their first year in the program. Applicants who are US citizens, but residents from other states would need to pay nonresident tuition their first year on campus, but could then qualify for resident tuition status after 1 year in Colorado. International students currently remain classified as nonresidents throughout their degree program.

Students are eligible for federal loans, scholarships and grants. In the past three years all incoming students and the majority of our returning students were offered assistantships through the program that pay for a portion of the student’s tuition and give a stipend. Some students obtain assistantships across the campus (e.g., Career Services, Disability Support Services, University 101, School of Psychological Sciences).
