Medical University of South Carolina

What is the cost of studying for a year at Medical University of South Carolina?

MUSC's published undergraduate tuition and required-fee figures vary by residency. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate in-state tuition was $15,622, with $1,350 in required fees; together, those charges total $16,972. Reported out-of-state tuition was $29,030, making the comparable tuition-and-fee total $30,380. These are not complete annual living-cost estimates.

• 2024-25 in-state undergraduate tuition and required fees: $16,972.
• 2024-25 out-of-state undergraduate tuition and required fees: $30,380.
• 2024-25 in-state graduate tuition and required fees: $17,574, based on reported general graduate figures.
• 2024-25 out-of-state graduate tuition and required fees: $25,568, based on reported general graduate figures.

Professional-program charges may differ from these general figures. A realistic budget also includes housing, food, books and equipment, transportation, and personal expenses; clinical programs may have additional requirements. Because MUSC does not provide undergraduate residence halls, students should budget for their actual off-campus arrangements rather than add an assumed campus room-and-board charge.

Financial aid can change the amount a student pays. Reported undergraduate grant aid averaged $7,913 among recipients in the cited data, but an average is not an individual award. Eligible students can explore federal aid through the FAFSA, applicable state assistance, MUSC scholarships, loans, and military education benefits. Students should compare the current cost-of-attendance budget and their own aid offer for the same academic year and program; published tuition alone is not a net price.

What are the work-study opportunities at Medical University of South Carolina?

MUSC students may encounter both ordinary part-time employment and work connected to their professional training. These should be distinguished from Federal Work-Study, which is a need-based federal aid program that helps eligible students earn wages through qualifying jobs; it is not a grant paid upfront or a guarantee of a position.

Students interested in Federal Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask MUSC's financial aid office about current eligibility and job procedures. Other campus or health-system jobs may be available through regular hiring processes without a work-study award. Clinical placements, research assistantships, and internships have separate academic or employment rules and should not be assumed to be paid.

For career development, a useful question is which services the student's own college provides: résumé and interview help, employer contacts, clinical placement advising, or profession-specific job-search support. Availability can differ across degree programs, and career assistance is not the same as a verified employment outcome.
