Revenue model

1. Tuition and Fees: Graduate education revenue generated from tuition and fees charged to enrolled students in doctoral, master's, and certificate programs across all academic disciplines.
2. Research Funding and Assistantships: Full-time Ph.D. students in Biomedical programs receive competitive stipends along with full payment of tuition, health insurance, and general fees as financial assistance. Teaching assistantships and graduate assistantships satisfy financial certification requirements for international student visas.
3. Student Health Insurance: International students with F or J immigration status are automatically charged for basic and major-medical insurance coverage on their term bills. Family members must purchase separate coverage through the Center for Global Services.
