*Please note for the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 admission years The Chicago School Los Angeles campus accepted 33 transfer students from accredited Argosy doctoral programs that abruptly closed on March 8, 2019. These students were at all levels of the program, except on internship. As such, the data regarding time to completion will indicate shorter than average times to completion for the degree from the 2019-2020 academic year onward due to these transfer students.
If students have taken comparable graduate coursework at another regionally accredited institution, they may transfer up to 21 credits. Transferring coursework may not decrease the time needed to complete the program.

| Description | 2024-2025 1st-year Cohort Cost |
| Tuition for full-time students (in-state) | $62,532 (36 credits at $1,737 per credit) |
| Tuition for full-time students (out-of-state) | $62,532 (36 credits at $1,737 per credit) |
| Tuition per credit hour for part-time students (if applicable enter amount; if not applicable enter “NA”) | N/A |
| University/institution fees or costs | $2,300 |
| Additional estimated fees or costs to students (e.g. books, travel, etc.) | $1,500 |
Note: Tuition is based on the number of credits for which a student is registered. Students following the recommended sequence of courses register for fewer courses each subsequent year. Students typically register for 36 credits in their first year, 33 credits in their second year, 24 credits in their third year, and 13 credits in their fourth year. Students in their fifth year typically only pay institutional fees as they have completed all required credits and are engaged in their internship experience by this time.
