Affordable Tuition for Chiropractic College
Sherman College provides high-quality chiropractic education with a low student/faculty ratio at a lower than average tuition for chiropractic colleges. We offer extensive financial planning services and experienced staff members to guide you through the financial planning process for your chiropractic education to help you minimize loans and get the most for your education dollar.
Total Tuition
Tuition for the April 2013- March 2014 year is $6,938 per quarter. Total annual tuition is $27,752. In cases where a student is permitted or required to carry a partial academic load, tuition is pro-rated for each course up to a maximum of the full-time tuition rate.
No Fees
The only lab fees applicable are for students who elect to enroll in Passive Rehabilitation and/or Active Rehabilitation; each of these classes has a $350 lab fee. These courses are electives and are not required for graduation. Aside from these two elective courses, Sherman College does not charge students additional fees of any kind, in any term.
Chiropractic Made Affordable
Our financial aid packages – which combine federal and institutional aid – make Sherman one of the most affordable chiropractic colleges in the country. Nearly 98 percent of Sherman students receive some form of financial aid – including loans, scholarships, family discounts and work-study programs. Sherman College also participates in the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of the Yellow Ribbon Program.
Average Debt
The average amount borrowed by students per quarter is $11,000, which covers living expenses and other materials as well as tuition (see estimated monthly budget to the right). The average debt upon graduation for our students, not including loans from undergraduate school, is $155,000. This amount does not include a Graduate Plus Loan that is available for additional funding based on eligibility.
Low Default Rate
Our Title IV Default rate is currently less than 1 percent, which means that our students are well able to pay off their loans and practice successfully. This speaks for the ability of our academic program to prepare you for practice, and it reflects our investment in your future financial success.
