Costs & Financial Aid

The Online Master of Science in Clinical Informatics & Patient-Centered Technologies program is a self-sustaining, fee-based program administered in partnership with UW Continuum College.

Costs

Course fees are charged on a per-credit basis and are the same for resident (Washington state) students and nonresident students. The estimate below is based on 2021–22 rates and is subject to change without notice. Annual fee increases are usually about 2%.

In addition to course fees, students pay other required fees each quarter, including registration, technology and U-PASS fees. Payment is due by the third Friday of the quarter. Costs for textbooks and other course materials are extra.

Financial Aid and Other Funding

Students in the CIPCT program can apply for various forms of financial aid to help cover their educational costs, including federal financial aid, scholarships and loans. For more information, visit the fee-based programs page of the UW Student Financial Aid website. Fee-based students are not eligible for tuition exemptions or university grants.

Graduate Student Funding

The Graduate School’s Office of Fellowships & Awards is a resource for students seeking information about fellowships, awards and assistantships. The Graduate Funding Information Service assists UW graduate students in their search for funding opportunities for graduate school-related expenses. GFIS representatives host workshops, post funding announcements and meet one-on-one with students.

Employer Assistance

Some employers will cover all or part of the cost of a professional education. Check with your employer to see if such a program is available.
