American University of Health Sciences

What is the cost of studying for a year at American University of Health Sciences?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $21,420, with $3,155 in required fees. The combined published amount was $24,575 before living expenses, books, transportation, and personal costs. The reported in-state and out-of-state undergraduate charges were the same.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $27,195 for 2025-26.
• Full-time graduate tuition and required fees: $33,649 for 2025-26, based on $26,463 in tuition and $7,186 in fees.
• Reported room-and-board allowance: $20,224; this is a living-cost figure, not a charge for an AUHS residence hall.
• Reported books-and-supplies cost: $1,500.

These figures should not be combined with tuition quoted for a different year or a different program to create a current bill. In particular, pharmacy and nursing students may face program-specific supplies, screening, travel, or clinical expenses. The financial-aid office's current, program-specific cost-of-attendance budget is the better starting point for an individual estimate.

Financial aid can reduce what a student pays directly, but loans must be repaid. In the reported 2024-25 undergraduate aid figures, all students in the measured group received some form of aid and 83% used student loans; the average grant award in the reported undergraduate measure was $6,381. Individual eligibility may involve federal grants and loans, California aid, institutional assistance, or qualifying military benefits. Students should complete the applicable aid applications and compare the resulting grant, loan, and out-of-pocket amounts - not just the published tuition.

What are the work-study opportunities at American University of Health Sciences?

AUHS students can seek career guidance, but a part-time job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is a need-based financial-aid award earned through approved employment; receiving an award does not itself place a student in a job.

Students interested in paid campus work should ask the financial-aid office whether Federal Work-Study is available for their degree and term, how eligibility is determined, and where openings are posted. They should also check whether a position is ordinary student employment rather than work-study. Clinical placements and internships may be required for a program without being paid jobs.

For longer-term career planning, AUHS reports undergraduate access to individual counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest testing, and alumni networking. Those services may help with a job search, but applicants should verify the availability and schedule of any specific service they expect to use.
