Cost of attendance (COA) is the estimated amount it will cost to attend doctoral, graduate and certificate programs at PCOM, PCOM Georgia and PCOM South Georgia. Financial aid is available for up to 100% of the estimated cost of attendance.
Tuition CalculatorCOA figures include tuition and fees, books and supplies, loan fees and reasonable costs for living expenses (housing, food, transportation, health insurance and personal expenses). The COA figures listed below are estimated and subject to change at any time without notice.
Enrolled students can view their personal current COA figures by logging into Financial Aid Self-Service within myPCOM and visiting the "cost of attendance" section.
If a student has a cost that exceeds what is listed in their COA, students may request a "Professional Judgment (PJ) - Special Circumstance Review" by contacting the Office of Financial Aid. We will consider your circumstances and will be able to assess any changes to the component in question.
Yes, it will be considered. The cost of the student health insurance is not included in the initial cost of attendance as very few students incur this cost. However, if the student obtains private health insurance or PCOM's student health insurance at a cost, PCOM will add the cost to their student budget.
Yes, the cost of clinical travel is reduced due to PCOM's Clinical Housing Stipend for the DO and PA students.

Students in the Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences program complete foundational coursework in the first year and then progress to one of several second-year degree concentrations. Students who successfully complete the foundational (first year) curriculum and elect not to continue in a second year concentration may receive a certificate of graduate study (CGS) as a terminal award. Students who meet specified academic success criteria will have the opportunity to complete an accelerated master's program (MS in Biomedical Sciences - Preclinical Sciences) during the summer term. Students who do not meet the minimum requirements for the accelerated master’s program will have the option to receive a CGS or pursue a second-year concentration as part of the MS in Biomedical Sciences program.

The comprehensive school fee at PCOM is applicable to all students and is used to support essential student services outside of instructional time. This fee funds a broad spectrum of services, including library resources, student council funding, counseling and wellness services, recreational and fitness programs, and learning support. Since all students have access to these services, the fee is non-refundable and cannot be waived.
Students are charged tuition and comprehensive school fees each term. If students are paying any portion of their tuition out-of-pocket, they must make payment directly to the PCOM Bursar Office by each term's tuition due dates.
When student loan and scholarship payments disburse to PCOM, they first pay toward a student's tuition and fee charges. Students then receive any remaining funds as “refunds” to help them meet their personal living expenses. Read more about disbursements and refunds.
Tuition and fee amounts listed in the cost of attendance apply solely to the current academic year listed. Because rates are established annually, tuition and fees may increase for future school years. Once the Board of Trustees approves the updated rates, this webpage will be updated accordingly.
