Tuition
- Students are responsible for covering the tuition costs, taxes and fees associated with courses that are taken through the Institute for Clinical Research Education courses unless they have other funding sources. The Institute for Clinical Research Education does not provide financial aid. Current tuition rates for graduate-level courses at the University of Pittsburgh can be viewed here.
- Many individuals accepted into our degree-granting programs have faculty- or student-based affiliations with the University of Pittsburgh or University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). Faculty, fellows, or residents at these institutions may be eligible for tuition benefits. For complete information, contact the Faculty Records office at the University of Pittsburgh (412-624-4232) or UPMC Tuition Assistance Employee Service Center at 1-800-994-2752 (press option 3).
- University of Pittsburgh medical students may only apply to the Certificate or the Master of Science in Clinical Research if they have been offered a tuition scholarship. Non-scholarship students who identify other sources for tuition payment (for example, a mentor's NIH T32 research training grant) can appeal for permission to enroll in one of our degree programs.
- To help lower their tuition costs, Fellows and Residents can apply to become residents of Pennsylvania. Click here for information about eligibility and proof of residence.
