Alright, let’s talk about the cost of getting a master’s in psychology at Elmhurst. This is something I’ve been looking into, so I figured I’d share my findings and the whole process I went through.
First off, I started with a simple Google search. Nothing fancy, just wanted to get a general idea, you know? I typed in “Elmhurst University psychology master’s cost” and hit enter. I scrolled through a bunch of pages, trying to find something official from the university itself.
Digging into the Details
Eventually, I landed on Elmhurst’s website. It took a bit of navigating through their menus. It wasn’t super clear at first. After clicking around, I finally found their graduate programs section. From there, it was a matter of finding the psychology program page.
Once I was on the right page, I started looking for the tuition and fees. They had a breakdown, but honestly, it was a bit confusing. Lots of numbers, and it wasn’t immediately obvious what the total cost would be. I grabbed a pen and paper – yeah, I’m old school like that – and started jotting down some figures.
Breaking Down the Numbers
From what I gathered, the tuition is charged per credit hour. I had to figure out how many credit hours the program requires. They listed it, thankfully. It’s a lot of credit hours, so obviously, it adds up quickly.
Then there were the fees. There’s a general fee, a technology fee, and probably some other fees I didn’t even catch. I tried to calculate the total cost based on the credit hours and these fees. It was a bit of a headache, not gonna lie.
- Tuition: I multiplied the cost per credit hour by the total number of credit hours. Big number.
- Fees: I added up all the listed fees for each semester. Also not a small number.
- Other Costs: I tried to think about books, maybe some software, and other stuff I might need. That’s not even on the university’s website, so it’s more of a guessing game.
The Bottom Line
After all that, I came up with a rough estimate. It’s definitely a significant investment. We’re talking tens of thousands of dollars here. It’s not pocket change, that’s for sure.
I also tried to find information about financial aid and scholarships. They have some info on their website, but it’s not super detailed. I’ll probably have to call their financial aid office to get the full picture. That’s another step in this whole process.
So, that’s where I’m at right now. I got a rough idea of the cost, but I still have a lot of questions. It’s a big decision, and I want to make sure I understand everything before I commit. I plan to do more research and probably reach out to the university directly. I’ll keep you guys updated on what I find out!
