Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science

What is the cost of studying for a year at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was the same for Minnesota residents and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees are only part of the cost of attendance; housing, food, transportation, books, and personal expenses can change the amount a student needs to budget.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, in-state or out-of-state: $8,888 for 2024-25.
• Required undergraduate fees: $152 for 2024-25, bringing reported tuition and fees to $9,040.
• Full-time graduate tuition, in-state or out-of-state: $23,880 for 2024-25, plus $1,237 in required fees; the applicable amount can differ by graduate program.

These figures should not be combined into a single estimate for all students. Medical, graduate, and allied health programs may have different tuition structures, schedules, equipment needs, or clinical-placement expenses. Applicants should use the cost-of-attendance budget for their own program and year, then compare it with their individual aid offer. Published tuition is not the same as the amount a student ultimately pays.

Financial assistance may include federal and state aid for eligible students, institutional scholarships or grants, loans, and qualifying military benefits. In 2024-25 aid reporting, the average grant amount awarded to undergraduates receiving grant aid was $7,792; that is an average among recipients, not an award every applicant can expect. Students seeking federal aid generally begin with the FAFSA and should check their program's aid eligibility and deadlines.

What are the work-study opportunities at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science?

Students interested in earning money while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job, a paid research position, or a required clinical placement. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program for eligible students; it is not an automatic payment or a guarantee of a position.

Mayo's clinical and research setting can create career-related employment or research opportunities, but eligibility, hiring, and compatibility with coursework vary. Medical students, residents, graduate researchers, and allied health students may also receive different forms of compensation or support under their program arrangements. Before accepting work, students should check program limits on outside employment and clarify whether a position pays wages, provides a stipend, fulfills academic requirements, or qualifies as Federal Work-Study.
