National University of Natural Medicine

What is the cost of studying for a year at National University of Natural Medicine?

For 2024-25, NUNM reported the same full-time tuition and required fees for in-state and out-of-state students within each degree level. The undergraduate and graduate figures differ substantially, so applicants should budget for their actual program rather than use a single university-wide tuition number.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $12,050; required fees: $818, for a combined $12,868.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $20,332; required fees: $1,294, for a combined $21,626.
• Reported part-time charge per credit: $277 for undergraduates and $522 for graduate students, before applicable fees.
• Reported median books and supplies cost: $1,101; reported median annual room and board figure: $24,660.

The room-and-board figure is a budgeting measure, not a charge for a NUNM residence hall: the university does not offer college-operated undergraduate housing. These figures should not be combined into a definitive individual cost of attendance without confirming their reporting periods and the student's housing arrangement. Transportation, personal expenses, program equipment, and health-related requirements can add to a budget.

Financial aid can change what a student pays, but grants and loans have different consequences. In 2024-25, the reported average grant award to undergraduates receiving grant aid was $5,452, while 54% of students received student loans. An average award is not an individual aid offer. Eligible students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and ask NUNM's financial aid office about federal aid, institutional scholarships, applicable state assistance, and veteran education benefits. Compare the resulting aid offer with a program-specific cost-of-attendance estimate, paying particular attention to the amount that must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at National University of Natural Medicine?

Part-time employment may help a NUNM student meet expenses, but it should not be confused with grant aid or with a guaranteed clinical placement. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's financial-aid offer, generally provides the opportunity to earn wages through an approved job; it is not money automatically credited in full to a tuition bill.

Students interested in campus or approved off-campus work should ask the financial aid office about eligibility and the process for finding openings. Program offices can separately explain whether clinic, research, or administrative positions are paid jobs, required training experiences, or volunteer roles. Those distinctions are especially important when estimating available work hours during a demanding clinical schedule.

Career preparation is another separate question. Applicants can ask their program what concrete help it provides with résumé review, professional networking, licensing preparation, and job searching, without treating access to those services as a verified employment outcome.
