American Institute of Alternative Medicine

What is the cost of studying for a year at American Institute of Alternative Medicine?

AIAM's 2024-25 reporting lists average full-time undergraduate tuition of $14,327 and required fees of $9,527 for both in-state and out-of-state students. Together, those reported components equal $23,854, but they should not be mistaken for a personalized bill or a complete annual cost of attendance.

• Reported full-time undergraduate tuition: $14,327.
• Reported required undergraduate fees: $9,527.
• Reported part-time undergraduate charge: $326 per credit hour.
• Reported full-time graduate tuition: $25,000, with $830 in required fees.

These are 2024-25 figures, not a verified current-program quote. Living expenses, transportation, books, equipment, and program-specific clinical costs can add substantially to a student's budget. A separate published tuition figure may use a different program or reporting basis; applicants should ask for an itemized estimate for their credential and attendance schedule rather than combining unlike figures.

Financial aid changes what a student pays, but aid does not always mean a grant. In 2024-25 reporting, 87% of students received financial aid, while 64% had student loans. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $4,394. Average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $38,940; net price is an estimate after grant aid that includes broader attendance expenses, not simply tuition minus grants. Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans, applicable state assistance, scholarships, and military education benefits through the school's financial aid process. A written aid offer should distinguish money that does not need repayment from loans.

What are the work-study opportunities at American Institute of Alternative Medicine?

Students should distinguish paid work, Federal Work-Study, and required clinical training at AIAM. An internship or clinical assignment is an academic requirement when a program specifies one; it is not automatically a paid job.

Federal Work-Study, if offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job rather than a discount applied upfront to tuition. Applicants should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study positions are available for their program and term, how jobs are assigned, and whether scheduling can accommodate clinical hours. They should also ask the program office what concrete career assistance - such as job leads, résumé review, or employer contacts - is available. Such assistance should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome.
