• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $16,241.
• Required graduate fees, 2024-25: $3,350.
• Combined reported tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $19,591.

That combined figure is not a complete annual cost of attendance. Students also need to budget for housing, food, transportation, books and equipment, and any program-specific clinical expenses. Request a current, itemized estimate for the intended credential and enrollment schedule; the amount a student ultimately pays will depend on current charges and any aid for which they qualify.

Eligible students may be able to use federal graduate loans or other approved assistance, subject to the school's current participation and the student's eligibility. Veterans should confirm both program approval and the benefits applicable to their own circumstances before relying on an estimated award.

What are the work-study opportunities at Arizona School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine?

Students should distinguish paid employment from clinical training and financial aid. A supervised clinical placement can be essential to a professional curriculum without being a paid job, while Federal Work-Study is a need-based student employment program that requires institutional participation and individual eligibility.

Applicants who need earnings while enrolled should ask the financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study is currently offered and how positions are assigned. They can separately ask program staff about class and clinic schedules, any paid campus positions, and support for finding work after graduation. Part-time work should be planned around required clinical hours rather than assumed to fit any timetable.
