The University of Tennessee Health Science Center

What is the cost of studying for a year at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled approximately $12,911 for Tennessee residents and $25,644 for nonresidents. These are published charges, not a complete annual cost of attendance or a prediction of an individual student's bill.

• Resident undergraduate: $9,796 tuition plus $3,115 required fees in 2024-25.
• Nonresident undergraduate: $22,454 tuition plus $3,190 required fees in 2024-25.
• Resident graduate: $13,489 tuition plus $1,452 required fees in 2024-25.
• Nonresident graduate: $24,255 tuition plus $1,512 required fees in 2024-25.

Medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and other professional programs can have different tuition structures and additional costs. Students also need a budget for housing, food, books or equipment, transportation, and personal expenses; clinical placements may create travel costs. Do not add a general graduate rate to a professional program's published charges. Use the current cost-of-attendance budget for the exact degree, residency category, and enrollment level, then compare it with the individual aid offer to estimate out-of-pocket cost and borrowing.

Aid can reduce the amount paid, but eligibility differs. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $10,751, while 52% of students were reported as having student loans. Neither figure represents an aid package promised to a new applicant. Eligible students can explore federal aid through the FAFSA, institutional scholarships, applicable state programs, and veteran or military education benefits; the financial aid office can explain which options apply to a particular program.

What are the work-study opportunities at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center?

Eligible UT Health Science Center students may be able to combine study with part-time employment, including positions funded through Federal Work-Study where available. A work-study award is permission to earn up to an approved amount in an eligible job; it is not money automatically credited to a tuition bill.

Federal Work-Study eligibility generally begins with the FAFSA and depends on financial need, available funding, and finding a qualifying position. Other campus jobs may have different eligibility rules and need not be work-study jobs. Students should ask the financial aid office how positions are advertised and whether an award is required before applying. A paid research or office job can also provide experience, but it should not be confused with a required clinical placement or an internship.

Career support is a separate consideration. Reported services include individual career counseling for undergraduates and on-campus employer recruitment. Because health professions often use specialized placement and hiring channels, students should also ask their college about résumé and interview support, employer contacts, and career events relevant to their degree.
