MD Program Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees are billed on a semester basis for students in Basic Science and in Clinical Medicine.
Basic Sciences
Tuition and fees for students in Basic Science are due upon registration but no later than fifteen days prior to the first day of classes. Non-payment by the first day of classes may result in registration being canceled.
Tuition and fees are subject to change. Students with an outstanding balance are not eligible to register for the next semester without clearing up that outstanding balance to the satisfaction of the Student Accounts Office. For students in both Basic Science and Clinical Medicine, a U.S. $200 late fee will be assessed if tuition and fees are not paid for on time.
Clinical Medicine
Tuition and fees for students in Clinical Medicine are due prior to registration and at least one month prior to the commencement of the semester and/or clinical rotation. Tuition and fees are charged for all clinical rotations. Students in Clinical Medicine will be billed for an entire semester regardless of the starting date as long as the student is anticipated to be in rotations.
Additional charges may be due during fourth year if students choose elective rotations with costs exceeding the standard St. Matthew’s University subsidy rate. Each student will pay a maximum of five clinical sciences semesters (given that no rotations were failed).
