University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School?

UMass Chan's annual cost depends on the degree, residency classification, and living arrangements. For the 2024-25 IPEDS reporting year, its reported full-time graduate tuition and required fees were:

• Massachusetts residents: $27,046 in tuition plus $1,347 in required fees, totaling $28,393.
• Out-of-state students: $40,143 in tuition plus $1,347 in required fees, totaling $41,490.

These are reported graduate figures, not a quote for every UMass Chan program or a complete annual cost of attendance. In particular, an MD applicant should use the medical school's program-specific tuition and fee schedule rather than assume the graduate aggregate is the MD price. Part-time pricing, when permitted by a program, can work differently from full-time pricing.

A workable budget also needs housing, food, books or equipment, transportation, health insurance where required, and personal expenses. Clinical travel can add costs for some students. Published tuition is a starting price, while an individual's eventual cost depends on program charges and any grants, scholarships, benefits, or borrowing. Students seeking aid should follow their program's financial aid instructions, including any required FAFSA; loans lower the amount due now but do not lower the underlying price. Eligible veterans can ask the financial aid or veterans-benefits staff how a particular education benefit applies to their program.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School?

Student employment at UMass Chan may include research, teaching, or other paid campus work, but availability and eligibility vary by program. A paid research appointment is not the same thing as Federal Work-Study, and neither should be assumed to fit around a full-time clinical schedule.

Federal Work-Study, where included in an eligible student's aid package, provides access to qualifying part-time jobs; it is earned through work rather than credited automatically against tuition. Graduate students should ask their financial aid office whether they qualify and whether positions are available. Biomedical sciences applicants should also examine program-specific funding or assistantship terms, including any limits on outside employment. For career development, UMass Chan offers program-oriented professional guidance; students can seek help with such matters as career exploration, applications, interviewing, and networking through their school's advising and professional-development resources. Those services are support, not a verified employment outcome.
