Cost of Attendance

MD Tuition and Fees

Tuition and fees are charged at a flat yearly rate, regardless of the actual hours in which a student is enrolled. The academic term includes the full academic year, so all courses taken during the academic year are covered. Tuition is billed three times yearly: one-third the cost of tuition is billed each fall, spring, and summer semester. In the fourth year, it is charged 50% fall, 50% spring due to their not being a summer semester.

Please see the following for an illustration of the payment structure for the entire MD degree.
