Paying for your EVMS program

To ensure continuity during the integration of Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) with Old Dominion University, programs under the School of Health Professions will follow EVMS’s existing tuition and fee structure for the 2025-2026 academic year. 

As a result, out-of-state tuition and certain mandatory fees for these courses may differ from standard ODUGlobal rates. 

This temporary approach preserves previously established pricing while the University aligns systems and policies. Detailed costs and associated fees for Virginia Health Sciences programs are listed below.
