Costs of the Program
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 14 western states (Alaska, Arizona, 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. Current information regarding tuition and fees can be found on the Costs Web site.

Students are eligible for federal loans, scholarships and grants. There are limited assistantships offered through the program that pay for a portion of the student’s tuition and give a small stipend. Our students usually obtain additional assistantships across the campus. For more information regarding financial aid please refer to http://www.unco.edu/ofa/index.asp
