Tuition and Fees
Tuition and Fees Overview
The Bloomberg School operates on academic terms, instead of semesters.
-
a term is eight weeks (about half a typical semester)
-
the traditional Academic Year is four terms (August to May)
Full-time status requires registering for 12 or more credits per term. Registering for 11 or fewer credits per term is defined as part-time status.
Tuition is assessed per term by the Office of Student Accounts & Business Services. Review the grid below to estimate the cost of your program.
Student Accounts also has information regarding non-degree applications, payment due dates and payment options.
Merit Scholarships are awarded by the academic departments. The Financial Aid Office provides assistance with need-based grants, federal and private loans, and the Federal Work-Study Program. The Financial Aid Office also calculates the Cost of Attendance, which includes direct and indirect costs.

Tuition, fees, and medical benefits are provided, including health insurance premiums for PhD student’s children and spouses of international students, depending on visa type. The minimum stipend and tuition coverage is guaranteed for at least the first four years of a BSPH PhD program; specific amounts and the number of years supported, as well as work expectations related to that stipend will vary across departments and funding source. Please refer to the CBA to review specific benefits, compensation, and other terms. Need-Based Relocation GrantStudents who are admitted to PhD programs beginning in Fall 2023 or beyond at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) can apply to receive a need-based grant to offset the costs of relocating to be able to attend JHU. The application for the need-based relocation grant will be sent to applicants once they have been admitted to one of the PhD programs. These grants provide funding to a portion of incoming students who, without this money, may otherwise not be able to afford to relocate to JHU for their PhD program. This is not a merit-based grant. The grant applications will be evaluated solely based on financial need. View more information about the need-based relocation grants for PhD students. |

Tuition for Certificates
Part-time Students
- Part-time BSPH degree students and non-degree students pursuing a certificate program pay the Bloomberg School's part-time per credit tuition rate, multiplied by the number of academic credit units taken for the certificate program; all certificate programs require a minimum of 18 academic credits, and many programs require more than 18 credits.
- Non-Degree Students enrolled in the certificate programs offered by the MAS Office will receive the MAS Program Scholarship.
- Part-time BSPH degree students and non-degree students who take 12 or more academic credits in one term will be charged the School’s full-time tuition rate for their enrollment for that term. That is, they will be charged the full-time rate, rather than being charged for course credits individually.
- The BSPH tuition rate for future academic years may be different from the current rate, so students who will require more than one academic year to complete their certificate program should anticipate that the cost per academic credit may vary in future academic years.
Full-Time BSPH Degree Students
Full-time BSPH degree-seeking students who have matriculated into an academic degree program at BSPH do not pay additional tuition for certificate courses, with the exception of Institute courses, whose costs are typically separate from degree program costs.
Students Enrolled in Degree Programs in Other Divisions of JHU
Full-time students enrolled in a degree-program at another division of JHU should check with the Office of Records and Registration at their primary school of record to obtain information about the number of courses they may take at BSPH and the cost associated with those courses.
Summer, Fall, and Winter Institute Tuition
For-Credit Rate
Students taking Summer, Fall and/or Winter Institute courses for academic credit must pay the Bloomberg School's part-time per credit tuition rate, multiplied by the number of academic credit units taken.
For Winter Institute courses in January 2025, the tuition rate is $1,374/credit.
Full-time students in BSPH academic degree programs must pay for enrollments in Summer and Winter Institute courses separately, and in addition to their full-time tuition. 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.
