Weill Medical College of Cornell University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Weill Medical College of Cornell University?

Weill Cornell is a graduate and professional institution, and an applicant's cost depends on the specific program and academic year. In the 2024-25 IPEDS figures, reported full-time graduate tuition averaged $33,745, with $12,068 in required fees, for both in-state and out-of-state categories. Those reported graduate figures should not be treated as the published annual MD price or as a complete student budget.

• Program charges: Use the current tuition and mandatory-fee schedule for the particular MD, graduate, or professional program.
• Living expenses: Add housing, food, transportation, books or equipment, health coverage, and personal costs using that program's cost-of-attendance budget.
• Net cost: Subtract grants or scholarships for which the student actually qualifies; loans can cover expenses but must generally be repaid.

Weill Cornell's need-based MD financial aid policy has included replacing loans with scholarships in aid packages for qualifying students. That policy does not mean every student pays nothing or that all living choices cost the amount allowed in an aid budget. Applicants should compare a current, program-specific cost-of-attendance estimate with their individual aid offer before calculating an annual out-of-pocket amount.

What are the work-study opportunities at Weill Medical College of Cornell University?

Student employment at Weill Cornell Medicine can include research or other part-time positions, but availability and permitted hours depend on the role and the student's program. A paid research job, an academic research placement, and an unpaid curricular experience are not interchangeable.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's financial aid package, is a way to earn wages through an approved job; it is not money paid automatically against tuition. Students should check their aid offer and the financial aid office's employment procedures before assuming they have a Work-Study award. Medical students should also weigh any proposed job against required classes, clinical training, and program rules.

For career development, MD students receive advising connected to specialty exploration, residency applications, and the residency-match process. Students in research and other professional programs should look to their graduate school or program for relevant mentoring, professional-development activities, and job-search support. These services are distinct from a verified employment outcome.
