What is the cost of studying for a year at Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine?

The reported 2024-25 full-time graduate tuition at Emperor's College was $20,705, with $720 in required fees. Together, those published charges amount to $21,425 for that reporting year, before living costs and other expenses. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state graduate students.

  • Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $20,705.
  • Required graduate fees, 2024-25: $720.
  • Reported part-time graduate tuition: $258 per credit hour; confirm how the college applies this rate to a proposed course load.

Those figures are not a complete cost of attendance. Students also need to budget for housing, food, books and supplies, transportation, and any program-specific expenses identified in the current catalog. Ask the financial aid office for a current-year budget based on the intended enrollment level rather than adding an older tuition figure to a newer living-expense estimate.

Eligible graduate students may be able to use federal student loans, scholarships, or military education benefits, subject to program and individual eligibility. Aid can reduce an immediate bill, but loans must generally be repaid. The college's reported average graduate military benefit was $5,474; an individual veteran's award depends on benefit eligibility and enrollment circumstances, not that average.

What are the work-study opportunities at Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine?

Supervised clinical education is a central part of studying at Emperor's College, but a required clinical shift should not be treated as a paid student job. Applicants seeking income during school should distinguish clinical training from ordinary employment and from Federal Work-Study.

Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job rather than a grant paid simply for enrolling. Ask the financial aid office whether the program is currently available, how eligibility is determined, and where positions are advertised. For any campus job, confirm the schedule and pay separately from academic credit; evening or weekend clinical requirements may affect how much outside work is practical.
