MD Student Cost
Fees and Expenses
Tuition is payable in equal installments at the beginning of each semester. As a requirement for graduation, all students are required to pay full annual tuition for each academic year enrolled in Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Breakage deposits are not required, but students will be held financially responsible for loss or damage to School of Medicine property. Students who do not make tuition payments or satisfactory arrangements with the Controller’s Office will not be eligible to continue classes or receive credit for course work.
Microscopes, required during the first two years of study, are provided by the School of Medicine. Students may use their own microscopes if School specifications are met.
