For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time graduate tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees totaled $11,720 before living costs and other expenses.
These reported figures are not an individualized annual cost of attendance. A workable budget also needs books and supplies, transportation, housing, food, and any program-specific clinical expenses. Part-time students should not simply add the full-time fee figure to a per-credit calculation without checking the current fee schedule. Financial aid and a student's course load can change what that student ultimately pays.
Students seeking paid work while enrolled should distinguish three possibilities: a Federal Work-Study position, an ordinary part-time job, and required clinical training. Each has different eligibility, compensation, and scheduling implications.
Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is financial aid earned through qualifying work rather than a grant paid automatically. Applicants should ask VUIM's financial aid office whether their program participates, how positions are posted, and whether employment can fit around clinical hours. Work completed to meet a program requirement should not be assumed to be paid employment.
