Institute of Clinical Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine

What is the cost of studying for a year at Institute of Clinical Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine?

In the 2024-25 IPEDS figures, ICAOM's reported full-time graduate tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Required fees were reported separately; part-time graduate study had a per-credit tuition charge.

• Full-time graduate tuition: $16,200 for the academic year.
• Required graduate fees: $1,200 for the academic year.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $390 per credit hour.

Tuition and required fees together amount to $17,400 for a full-time graduate student under those reported figures. That is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: books, clinical supplies, transportation, housing, food, and personal expenses can add substantially to a Honolulu budget. Ask for a current, itemized estimate covering the entire program, including any charges tied to clinical training. Financial aid, if available to an eligible student, can change the amount paid out of pocket without changing the published price.

What are the work-study opportunities at Institute of Clinical Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine?

Clinical training may provide experience with patients, but required supervised practice should not be treated as a paid job. Students considering outside work need to account for both class hours and clinic assignments, which may be less flexible than ordinary coursework.

Ask ICAOM's financial aid office whether students in the intended program can receive Federal Work-Study and, if so, how eligible jobs are advertised. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid earned through qualifying employment; it is different from a federal loan, an unpaid clinical rotation, or an independently arranged part-time job. Students seeking career support should separately ask what help is offered with licensure planning, résumés, and the transition into practice.
