Allied Health Comprehensive Charge
The allied health comprehensive charge is relevant to students who are admitted to the B.S.N or A.A.S. Physical Therapist Assistant programs. Its purpose is to cover various expenses like labs, simulations, testing, and clinical experiences, preventing any unexpected fees from the University throughout the program. The allied health comprehensive charge applies once a student is accepted to the program and begins the coursework required for the major, which is typically in the junior year.
