Tuition and Fees
Cost per Credit for For-Credit Courses
Tuition for classes taken for credit for the 2023-2024 Academic Year, which begins on May 30, 2023 is $1,321 per credit. Please also see the BSPH Tuition & Fees page for more information.
Special students limited (ie: students who are not enrolled in a degree program at the Bloomberg School) and individuals taking courses not for academic credit must pay in full at the time of registration.
Full-time students in BSPH academic degree programs must pay for enrollments in institute courses separately, and in addition to their full-time tuition. Tuition rates are displayed on the BSPH tuition and fees page; full-time students enrolling in up to 11 credits will pay per credit, and students enrolling in 12 or more credits will pay a flat rate.
Please note: A $50 course change fee will be charged if a change in registration from academic credit to non-credit or non-credit to academic credit is requested for institute enrollments.

Credit Card Payments
The University accepts American Express, MasterCard, Visa and Discover card. A student who submits a credit card payment that is declined will be placed on financial hold and may be removed from courses for which they are currently registered.
JHU Tuition Remission
Students who are eligible to participate in the JHU Tuition Remission Plan must provide the appropriate tuition remission benefit application in lieu of payment for tuition. Fees are not covered under the Tuition Remission Plan. If the remission does not cover the entire cost of tuition, a student is required to pay the remaining balance. Original remission forms and any additional payment due from the student must be submitted by the payment due date. It is the student's responsibility to understand and abide by the terms of the Tuition Remission Plan. After the forms are completed, please print them and submit to the Bloomberg School's Continuing Education Student Services' Office, along with a copy of your registration form.
Please be aware that the tuition remission benefit is offered by Johns Hopkins University, so questions about the program should be directed to the Benefits Service Center.
3rd Party Contract
A student must submit a purchase order or contract from their employer permitting the School to bill the company for tuition and any associated fees. If the contract does not cover the entire cost of tuition and fees, a student is required to pay the remaining balance by the payment due date. Students who receive payments directly from their employer are required to pay their tuition in full, then seek reimbursement from the employer.
Refunds
For information on the School's refund policy, please visit Student Accounts and Business Services. If you have questions, please contact the Office of Student Accounts directly.
Cancellation Policy
The Bloomberg School reserves the right to cancel courses for any reason, including low enrollment. In case of a cancellation, the full enrollment fee for the course(s) will be refunded. If a course is cancelled or closed, the applicant is notified immediately and a full refund is processed automatically, unless another course is requested.
