Paying for School

Resources for paying tuition and fees for the School of Public Health

The above estimate reflects tuition and required fees for residents and non-residents if the student attends fall, spring, and summer semesters in the first year and fall and spring semesters in the second year.

Program Additional Costs

In addition to required tuition and fees, there are costs for digital and hardcopy textbooks, uniforms, and equipment. The fieldwork experiences included in the curriculum may require that students relocate outside of San Antonio for the duration of the fieldwork or practicum. Those expenses will vary according to individual arrangements depending on the cost of travel, temporary housing, maintenance of local accommodations, etc. Students are encouraged to budget for major expenditures that could be associated with these assignments.

Tuition and fee amounts are subject to change at any time. The UT Health San Antonio policy on refunds, tuition, and fees can be found here.
