Oregon Health & Science University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Oregon Health & Science University?

OHSU costs vary substantially by degree and residency status. In 2024-25 institutional reporting, average full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees together were $24,306 for Oregon residents and $37,338 for nonresidents. These are tuition-and-fee figures, not complete annual living-cost estimates.

• 2024-25 resident undergraduate tuition: $15,624; reported required fees: $8,682.
• 2024-25 nonresident undergraduate tuition: $28,656; reported required fees: $8,682.
• 2024-25 reported full-time graduate tuition: $21,786; reported required fees: $8,682. Professional-program charges may differ.

In particular, applicants should confirm which reported fees apply to their actual program rather than adding a general institutional figure to a separate professional-program bill. A full cost of attendance also includes housing, food, books and equipment, transportation and personal expenses. Clinical programs may have additional costs such as immunizations, background checks, uniforms or travel to placements.

Financial aid can lower what a student pays, but borrowing reduces the bill today rather than the eventual cost of a degree. Reported undergraduate grant aid averaged $19,147 among recipients, and 56% of undergraduates received student loans in the cited reporting. Neither figure predicts an individual award. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Oregon aid, institutional or program scholarships, and applicable military education benefits. The financial aid office can explain required applications and program-specific deadlines; a personalized aid offer is the appropriate basis for comparing net costs.

What are the work-study opportunities at Oregon Health & Science University?

OHSU students may find part-time employment in academic, research, administrative or health care settings, subject to job qualifications and program schedules. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, is a separate arrangement: students earn wages through approved employment rather than receiving the full award automatically as a grant.

Students should use OHSU's employment postings and their school's student resources to identify openings, then confirm whether a position requires a Work-Study award. Clinical placements, internships and paid jobs are not interchangeable; a placement required for a degree may be unpaid or governed by separate academic rules.

Career support can also be school-specific. Students can seek advising on professional pathways, clinical preparation, résumés, interviews and employer connections through their program where offered. Applicants who need a particular service - such as internship placement or individual career counseling - should verify its availability with their school rather than assume a university-wide placement service or job guarantee.
