What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $9,360 for Colorado residents and $28,368 for nonresidents. Required undergraduate fees were $1,023 in each category, making tuition plus those reported fees $10,383 for residents and $37,433 for nonresidents before living and other expenses.

  • Books and supplies: the reported median allowance was $1,460.
  • Room and board: a reported median charge was $17,205; a student living with family, renting independently, or choosing different meals may spend substantially differently.
  • Transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges add to a student's full cost-of-attendance budget.

Published tuition is not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid figures, the average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $9,472. For the $75,001-$110,000 income band, it was $15,232. These are averages for defined groups, not individual quotes, and should not be added to tuition: net price already reflects the applicable cost and grant-aid calculation.

Eligible students can apply for federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, work-study, and loans through the relevant financial-aid process, ordinarily beginning with the FAFSA. The reported share of students receiving some form of financial aid was 94%; that broad measure does not mean 94% received a grant or had their full costs covered. Colorado residency, enrollment level, degree program, and housing choice can change the final budget considerably. CU Anschutz professional-program tuition and expenses require a separate program-specific estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus?

CU Denver students may seek campus jobs, and eligible students may qualify for Federal Work-Study as part of a financial-aid offer. Work-study is not an automatic paycheck or a guarantee of placement: students normally must secure an eligible job and are paid for hours worked, subject to their award and employment rules.

Students can look for positions through university student-employment resources and career-service job platforms. Some jobs may offer experience related to a major, while others provide general income and workplace experience. Career services separately offer individual and group counseling, career exploration, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Students should distinguish a paid job from an internship that carries academic credit, and check whether their program requires or approves the latter.
