Tuition and Fees

Sentio University offers a top-tier education at a mid-range tuition level. This page provides information about tuition, fees, scholarships, and financial aid so you can assess whether our Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy program is a good fit for you financially.

The tuition and fee structure for Sentio University’s 60 semester credit hour Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy program is as follows:

Application Fee** Total Tuition ($1,120 per credit) Textbook Costs* Registration + STRF Fee Total Cost
$50 $67,200 $1,000 $200 $68,450
*This is an estimate. Textbooks are purchased by students from third-party vendors of their choice.

**Non-refundable. Due when you submit your application.

A non-refundable application fee of $50.00 is due when you submit your application. It is separate from the $200 registration fee and is not applied toward tuition.

Students are expected to pay for each semester in full prior to the beginning of the semester. The payment amount will depend on the number of courses offered in the semester. Students who wish to make monthly payments instead of on a per-semester basis may do so upon completion and approval of the Request for Monthly Payments Form. Payment can be made by debit card, credit card, or bank transfer. Payments made by credit card are subject to a 2.7% convenience fee, applied to the full amount of each payment. Payments made by debit card or bank transfer are not subject to this fee.

Students must submit payment within five business days after the start of the new payment period. A $35 late fee will be added to all overdue payments. Selecting a payment plan does not add financing fees or interest charges. Students who maintain a balance from a previous payment period will not be allowed to register for the next semester, or graduate until the balance is paid.

Tuition covers the cost of educational services, instructional materials, technology access, proctoring, and library services. Students are responsible for their own travel, housing, and meal costs when attending the Intensive In-Person Residencies, except for lunches.

Costs for optional services, defined as services that are not required to matriculate through the program but are available upon request, include:

  • Transcript Fee: Two provided at no cost, then $10.00 each.

  • Diploma Fee: One provided at no cost, then $30.00 each.

  • Return Payment Fee: $25.00 each occurrence
