Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) is the nation’s federal health professions university. Like other military academies, students are not charged tuition; they repay the nation for their education through service. In many respects, USU’s curricula and educational experiences are similar to those of civilian academic health centers, with one important difference: the emphasis on military health care, leadership, readiness and public health sets USU apart.
