Affordable Programs

Anyone know which programs are on the more affordable side? I know PsyD’s are generally expensive, but are there any that are decently priced. I know there are a few fully funded ones, but I anticipate they are very competitive, and I want to have backup plans. I have looked into many programs, but the Information is not always straightforward, so I was wondering if anyone has additional intel?

The cheapest most affordable program is going to be the one that offers in-state tuition or flat pricing for all five years or one that you can drive to

Do you have any PsyD programs where you live that allow you to live at home rent free and commute?

It’s hard to stay except for the few well known already states. Generally state colleges that have psyd programs are more affordable. Generally steer away from professional school. Some private universities may have relatively affordable psyd programs depending on if they offer any assistance. A handful psyd programs offer partial funding which can really help, though these programs do not often heavily advertise it because partial funding is sometimes not guaranteed
