• 2024-25 full-time graduate tuition: $37,248.
• 2024-25 required graduate fees: $1,200.

Tuition and required fees are only part of the cost of attendance. Students also need to budget for housing, food, books and equipment, transportation, health coverage where applicable, and personal expenses. Clinical training and licensing preparation can bring additional costs that should be checked against the current catalog and aid budget. Because the program extends beyond a single academic year, comparing the entire expected program cost is more informative than comparing annual tuition alone.

Eligible professional students may be able to use federal graduate loans, institutional scholarships, outside scholarships, or qualifying veterans' education benefits. Federal Pell Grants generally serve eligible undergraduates, not students pursuing a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. A financial-aid offer can reduce the amount due immediately without reducing the total cost when the assistance is a loan; applicants should compare scholarships, borrowing limits, and estimated repayment separately.

What are the work-study opportunities at Life Chiropractic College West?

Students should not assume that a Life Chiropractic College West financial-aid award includes Federal Work-Study. That program, when offered and awarded to an eligible student, provides access to qualifying paid work; it is not an upfront tuition discount or a guarantee of a job.

Ordinary part-time employment, Federal Work-Study positions, and supervised clinical training have different purposes and eligibility rules. The college's financial-aid office can clarify whether Work-Study is available for a given award year, while the relevant campus office can explain how paid positions are posted. Applicants planning to work should account for the scheduling demands of classes and clinical requirements rather than assuming a job can be fitted around every term.
