The tuition rate for new full-time MSW students for the 2020-2021 academic year is $21,730 per semester.  Every student who requests merit-based aid receives an award; approximately $6 million in aid is awarded per year.

Students are encouraged to contact Student Health Services for more information about health insurance coverage and the Health & Wellness fee. Students will also be able to find information about how to waive out of the graduate student health insurance enrollment.

When considering the overall costs of graduate education, students must take into consideration not only the cost of tuition and fees (see above), but also “cost of living” expenses such as rent/mortgage payments, utilities, food, transportation, books/supplies and miscellaneous personal expenses.

Note: Students enrolled in fewer than 9 hours will be charged per credit hour ($1,449/hour).
