University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center?

UT Southwestern costs depend on the degree, Texas residency classification, enrollment pattern, and living arrangements. For 2024-25, reported full-time graduate tuition was $6,984 for Texas residents and $17,064 for nonresidents; reported required fees were $1,271 in either category. These figures describe graduate charges, not a universal price for the MD or every health professions program.

• Texas-resident full-time graduate tuition and reported required fees, 2024-25: $8,255.
• Nonresident full-time graduate tuition and reported required fees, 2024-25: $18,335.

Neither amount is a complete annual cost of attendance. Students may also need to cover housing, food, books, equipment, transportation, health insurance, and program-specific expenses. The relevant program's current tuition schedule and financial aid cost-of-attendance budget are the better sources for an individual estimate; adding charges from a different academic year could distort it.

Eligible students may finance costs through scholarships, grants where applicable, loans, and military or veteran education benefits. Federal aid applicants generally need to complete the FAFSA and meet the rules for their degree and enrollment status. A published tuition figure is the price before individual aid, while the amount a student ultimately pays depends on eligibility and awards.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center?

Work opportunities at UT Southwestern can include research, academic, or other paid roles, but availability and eligibility differ by program. A paid campus position, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are not interchangeable: Work-Study is need-based federal aid tied to eligible employment, while an ordinary job need not be part of an aid award.

Students interested in employment should ask their financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study is available for their degree and check institutional job postings for positions open to enrolled students. Research and clinical work may also build professional experience, but required placements are not necessarily paid. Before accepting a job, students in intensive clinical or laboratory programs should check scheduling expectations and any limits imposed by their program or funding.

For longer-term career planning, program advisers and faculty mentors may be particularly important for identifying residency, research, or professional opportunities. Applicants seeking a specific service - such as resume review or interview preparation - should confirm its availability with their school.
