Estimated Cost for Occupational Therapy Program
The Occupational Therapy program at Seton Hall University offers two tracks leading to a Master of Science degree. A dual-degree program links students from the undergraduate division of the University to the graduate program. The senior year for dual-degree students serves as their first year of graduate education in the occupational therapy program (see cost of undergraduate education here). Dual-degree students begin paying graduate tuition in the summer of the first year in the occupational therapy program.
