Medical Insurance
Cost differs based upon the medical insurance plan. Students should shop around for the best plan for their needs, if they are no longer covered under their parent's plan. NOTE: Federal regulations prevent this cost from being covered by Financial Aid.
Student Health Insurance Options
Room and Board
Space is limited in the graduate dormitories located on an adjacent campus. Most PA students live off-campus as it is more conducive for their study habits. To estimate the cost, candidates are advised to browse rental listings for adjacent towns such as Glen Cove, Roslyn, Greenvale and Hicksville. Due to the above-average cost of off-campus living in the vicinity, students should prepare for additional costs beyond what is covered by Financial Aid. In addition, Financial Aid will not cover the cost for room and board during the first year summer break.
