Additional Expenses for the 2-year 9-month E-OTD program
Fieldwork: All students must be prepared to relocate for one fieldwork experience or have travel time of one hour or
more to their site. Costs may include transportation to and from fieldwork site, travel, parking, housing, and meals.
Costs may approximate $4,000, depending on where the site is located and if the student must pay for airfare and
double rent during fieldwork.
Cost of Living: Housing costs vary greatly around the Chicago area and are hard to predict, as it depends on the kind
of neighborhood a student lives in and whether they have roommates. An information packet is provided to accepted
students about housing options and costs in a variety of neighborhoods.
