2026-2027 Tuition and Expenses by Program

Two-year MPH

Students in the full-time MPH program attend two years, and therefore pay tuition for two years. When estimating the cost of the program, please note tuition typically increases slightly each year. Yearly tuition is billed by academic term — half in the fall and half in the spring. All admitted students are holistically reviewed for merit scholarship eligibility based on the comprehensive information provided in the admissions application and notified of any eligibility within 10 days of admission.

We are pleased to announce that all Executive MPH students who do not receive full tuition funding from an external source will receive a $10,000 scholarship applied per-credit over the two years of the program.

Other YSPH Scholarships- selected recipients will be notified by April 1.

  • The YSPH Civil Service Award is a competitive 50% tuition scholarship awarded to one EMPH student working as a federal, state, local, or tribal government employee while pursuing their degree. These funds are intended to amplify the recipient’s public service contribution through training in public health methods, policy, and leadership, and thus support evidence-based decision making in public health at all levels of government. Newly admitted students who meet the professional criteria will be considered for this award.
  • All EMPH students from Mexico will automatically be considered for the Overlook International Foundation Scholarship. This highly competitive scholarship supports one student each year who plans to continue positively impacting Public Health and Policy in Mexico. The recipient will receive an additional $30,000 towards the cost of the EMPH program.
  • If you’ve applied for the Health Informatics track, you will automatically be considered for the $28,000 Gliklich Merit Scholarship. The Gliklich Scholarship will be awarded based on a holistic review of merit to one new EMPH student in the Health Informatics track.

Joint Degree MPH Programs

  • Eligible joint degree programs allow students who will obtain multiple degrees the option to pursue those degrees concurrently rather than doing the programs in succession. Because you reduce each degree (typically by one academic term), you graduate sooner and pay less in tuition and living expenses than you would by pursuing the degrees in succession. As a result in most cases you would only be billed three terms of YSPH tuition, and eligible for three terms of scholarship (if you are awarded a scholarship from YSPH).
  • Students must apply separately to admissions and financial aid for each school. Financial aid processes, awards and policies are school specific. Once admitted, all charges are run through a centralized Yale billing System called YalePay.

BA-BS/MPH

BA/BS- in this five year joint degree program students combine their final Yale College year with their first year at YSPH. During that combined year, students will be eligible for financial aid through Yale College, with no additional tuition or fees assessed by YSPH. In their final year, students will be billed YSPH tuition and fees, and all financial aid will occur through YSPH. The School cannot guarantee that the financial aid award in the fifth year will be equivalent to previous awards.

Accelerated MPH/MBA

The tuition for the Accelerated MPH/MBA program is based on the SOM rate (rather than the YSPH rate) due to the abbreviated nature of the program. All payments are made through the centralized Yale billing system while in both schools, but financial aid is separate by school.

Term fee payment and Yale Payment Plan

Term Fees

Fall term fees and financial aid are posted to student accounts July 1 and are due for payment July 31. Spring term fees and financial aid are posted to student accounts November 1 and are due for payment on November 30. Account activity is available on a real time basis through YalePay. Most students make online payments using a U.S. checking account.

Yale Payment Plan

If a portion of your term's tuition and fees will be paid out of pocket (rather than covered with financial aid such as scholarships or loans), then you may divide term fees into 5 monthly payments through the Yale Payment Plan.

If a family member will be making payments on your behalf, you can grant them Proxy Access to your YalePay account where they can register for a Yale Payment Plan as necessary. Student employment typically offsets living expenses rather than tuition and fees, so full-time students typically don't enroll in Yale Payment Plan. However Executive Students, who are likely to be employed full-time while enrolled at YSPH part-time, may find the Payment Plan to be particularly useful.
