Attending graduate school is an investment in your future and a commitment of your financial resources. The George Washington University is committed to assisting graduate applicants in the process of financing their education. To better meet the needs of our Entry-Level Occupational Therapy Doctorate (eOTD) students, the program charges a fixed tuition rate for the duration of the program, which means that you will not incur annual tuition increases during your course of study; students must maintain continuous, full-time enrollment.
The chart below represents estimated expenses for newly admitted students entering the program in the 2026-2027 academic year.
For a summary of the tuition and fees for the eOTD program in previous academic years, visit the Student Accounts Webpage within the School of Medicine & Health Sciences. The total program cost (excluding fees) for 2024-2025 is $127,959. The total program cost (excluding fees) for 2025-2026 is $131,798.

*All students enrolled in the program are required to maintain adequate health insurance coverage that meets the University requirements throughout the duration of the program.

Personal & Living Expenses
The George Washington University Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) estimates a standard amount when determining living expenses, including housing and utilities, for a graduate student living off-campus. The OSFA estimates the average out-of-pocket costs that students may incur, such as personal and living expenses. Please note that these costs are variable and can be considerably less, depending on your choice of living arrangements. Program students recently surveyed indicated average expenses lower than those included above.
