Pima Medical Institute-Tucson

What is the cost of studying for a year at Pima Medical Institute-Tucson?

The cost of attending Pima Medical Institute-Tucson depends on the program and its length. A single annual tuition figure would be less useful than a written estimate for the specific credential and start date, especially when training spans a period other than a standard academic year.

Applicants should request an itemized cost-of-attendance estimate that separates charges billed by the school from living expenses and other costs. The estimate should identify which supplies are included in tuition and which must be purchased separately.

• School charges to verify: program tuition, required fees, books, uniforms, equipment and any other mandatory supplies.
• Other expenses to budget for: housing, food, transportation, personal costs and travel to clinical or externship sites.
• Reported average undergraduate grant aid in 2024-25: $5,531 among recipients of the measured aid.

In 2024-25, 88% of students received financial aid, while 60% received student loans. Aid receipt does not mean that tuition was fully covered: grants generally do not require repayment, whereas loans usually do. Students can apply for eligible federal aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, and ask the financial-aid office about applicable grants, scholarships, loan terms and military education benefits. An individual net price is the student's estimated cost after grants and scholarships, not after subtracting loans.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pima Medical Institute-Tucson?

Pima Medical Institute-Tucson offers career-related support, but a required externship or clinical placement should not be confused with a paid student job. Students should confirm whether their program's placement is paid, how sites are assigned and whether they must arrange transportation.

Reported career services include résumé preparation, a job bank and job fairs. Individual job-placement and on-campus employer-recruitment services are reported for full-time undergraduates. These services may help with a job search, but they are not verified job offers.

Federal Work-Study is a distinct form of need-based aid under which eligible students earn wages through approved employment; it is not a discount applied automatically to tuition. Students interested in paid work should ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study is offered for their program and aid year, and ask career services how to find openings that fit a class and clinical schedule.
