Tuition and Fees
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.
Scholarships are typically awarded by the academic departments. The Financial Aid Office provides assistance with federal and private loans and the Federal Work-Study Program.
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.
