Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center

What is the cost of studying for a year at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center?

The price of attending TTUHSC depends on residency, degree level, program and enrollment load. In IPEDS figures for 2024-25, average full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees combine as follows:

• Texas residents: $6,672 in tuition plus $3,542 in required fees, or $10,214.
• Nonresidents: $18,972 in tuition plus $3,542 in required fees, or $22,514.

For full-time graduate students in the same reporting year, average tuition and required fees total $7,153 for Texas residents and $14,532 for nonresidents. These are institutional averages, not a quote for a particular medicine, nursing, pharmacy or health professions program. Professional-program tuition structures, course charges and clinical expenses can differ.

Tuition and mandatory fees are only part of an annual budget. Students may also need to cover housing, food, books, equipment, transportation, insurance and personal expenses; clinical programs can add expenses such as required supplies or travel to placements. The published cost of attendance estimates those broader expenses, while an individual's net price reflects applicable grants and scholarships. A program-specific cost sheet and financial aid offer are the better basis for deciding what a particular year may cost.

Financial aid can include federal grants for eligible undergraduates, scholarships, loans and qualifying veteran or military education benefits. Applicants generally need the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for federal aid. In 2024-25 reporting, the average grant awarded to undergraduate grant recipients was $6,113, while 43% of students in the reported loan measure had student loans. Neither figure states what an individual applicant will receive or need to borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center?

TTUHSC students may pursue paid work alongside study, but an ordinary student job, Federal Work-Study and a required clinical placement are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students who qualify through the financial aid process; it provides an opportunity to earn wages rather than an automatic payment toward tuition.

Students can look for positions through TTUHSC's employment resources and ask their school or financial aid office which openings are available to their student category. Research and academic units may also have paid roles, subject to qualifications and scheduling. Professional programs can have demanding clinical hours, so a job that fits one semester may not fit another.

Career development should be evaluated separately from employment while enrolled. Program advisers, clinical-placement staff and school-specific professional-development resources can help students identify training and job-search steps. Applicants seeking resume reviews, interview preparation, employer events or internship guidance should confirm which services their own TTUHSC school offers; a clinical rotation should not be mistaken for a paid job or a promise of employment.
