Tuition and Fees
Students who register for a course in this program are assessed tuition and, if applicable, mandatory fees. The program uses the semester academic calendar.
Program Tuition
Tuition for these programs is assessed at a flat rate that does not differentiate between Maryland residents and non-residents. This rate applies only to course sections beginning with PWT*. Students who register for courses outside of the PWT* sections are assessed tuition based on the approved rate for the course, which may vary based on residency. The charts also provide an estimated cost for each program.
