Tuition Guarantee

In 2007, UK College of Medicine launched a tuition guarantee pilot program - making it one of four colleges in the nation to provide such an offer. The pilot program guarantees each entering class a set tuition that will remain constant for the four years they are enrolled in medical school. This is a significant step toward maintaining the affordability of a medical education.
