Diploma Program: Costs, UW-Madison Disaster Management Center

Costs

The DM Diploma Program costs will vary depending on the courses you select. Correspondence and self-study courses are the least expensive. Seminars and workshops are the most expensive, because travel and living expenses are generally necessary. Costs associated with the diploma program include:

  • DM diploma registration fee
  • Selected self-study or correspondence course fees
  • Texts and materials costs
  • Travel and living expenses (for resident courses)
  • Professional study project fee

At this time, basic program fees (which would provide 15.5 CEU) include:

  • DM Diploma Program registration fee: $395
  • UW-DMC required core courses: $430
  • Professional study project: $500

The remaining individual course fees (which would provide 34.5 CEU) will depend on your choice of institution and course format. UW-DMC self-study courses cost roughly $100/CEU, correspondence courses average $150/CEU, satellite and webconferencing courses can cost more than $200/CEU, and onsite workshops may cost from $250-500/CEU, or more.

All UW-DMC fees and costs are payable in U.S. dollars-by check, money order, bank transfer, purchase order or credit card-to the University of Wisconsin-DMC. All prices are subject to change.

If you withdraw from the Diploma Program within two months of enrollment, 50 percent of your application/registration fee will be refunded. Beyond that time, there is no refund.

The total costs will vary depending on the type of courses you select.
