Tuition and Fees

Required HIP core courses and some HIP elective courses are tuition-free but fees do apply. Under 9 credits, only a nominal building fee applies.  With 9 or more credits in a term, there are additional fees and trainees should budget accordingly. Tuition and fees will be charged for all other courses. 

For the Academic Year 2008-09, tuition for HIP students in all program tracks is $500 per credit when taking a course subject to tuition, including auditing courses. See the Registrar's web page for more details on the current tuition and fees and a refund schedule.

Budgeting for Tuition

  • A total of 24 credits is required for the Certificate track.  As all core courses are tuition-free, one can complete the track without paying tuition but candidates may want to budget tuition for an elective.
  • A total of 45 credits is required for the MCR track.  Candidates should budget tuition for at least 22 credits.

Employee Tuition Benefit Program

Courses in the HIP Program that are subject to tuition are eligible for the employee tuition benefit. OHSU employees who meet the eligibility requirements may apply for the tuition benefits.  Please note that not all graduate programs participate for this benefit.
