Graduate and Post-Bachelor’s Tuition and Fees

Physician Assistant (PA) Program

Students enrolled in the Physician Assistant Program should refer to the PA tuition and fees page.

The information below applies to graduate students enrolled in non-Physician Assistant programs.

Enrollment Status and Financial Aid Eligibility

• Part-time enrollment: 1-2 courses (3-6 credits per semester)
• Full-time enrollment: 3 or more courses (9 or more credits per semester)

To be eligible for federal financial aid, graduate students must be enrolled in at least 6 credits per semester.

Health insurance requirement

Massachusetts State Health Insurance Law requires students enrolled in 6 or more credits during the fall or spring semester to maintain minimal medical coverage and obligates universities to enforce this requirement. All students are billed for student medical insurance; however, students may waive this charge by demonstrating comparable medical coverage. Enrollment or waiver completed in the fall semester remains valid for the spring semester.

The enrollment/waiver link will be available in the Student Account Center under Other Services once Fall 2026 bills are released.

The 2026-2027 student health insurance rate is $4,522.00.
