Tuition Overview
Accelerated On-Campus MPH and MS in Healthcare Research (11-month programs)
Full-time students pay tuition in four equal installments of $17,832. Payment is due on the billing date prior to the beginning of each term in which the student is enrolled, including—if applicable—the term in which the student is off-campus, conducting research, or performing an internship.
Online MPH (2-year program)
Online students also pay tuition in four installments, two per year for both years. Costs as noted above are approximate per year. Tuition is half the on-campus tuition rate for a given year, which is likely to increase by 1-3% each year.
Health Insurance
In addition to the Health Services Access fee, all Dartmouth College students are required to have health insurance that meets specific standards of coverage.
Health Insurance Coverage through Dartmouth
Unless you file a waiver (below), you will be automatically enrolled in the Dartmouth Student Group Health Plan and the premium will be billed to your student account. No further action is required. The student coverage premium for 2018-2019 is $3,073.
Other Comparable Health Insurance Coverage
If you prefer other health insurance coverage, you MUST complete the online insurance waiver to avoid being automatically enrolled in the Dartmouth Student Group Health Plan and charged the insurance premium. Instructions and completion form for the waiver are found here.
Housing for On-Campus MPH & MS Students
Dartmouth College offers a variety of rental housing for students—all of our available rental listings are posted and applied for online: http://realestate.dartmouth.edu/dartmouth-rentals (search listings for Dartmouth College graduate students from the toggle buttons at the top of the page).
A popular option is North Park Graduate Student Housing, which is located just a few minutes from where MPH and MS classes are held at Vail. For more information about North Park and other housing options, please review the pamphlet here.
Lodging for Online MPH Students
We will book hotel rooms for you for each of the six week-long on-campus sessions held during the program. This is included in the $3,490 mandatory fees for the program. We can also provide transportation recommendations for getting to campus.
Part-time tuition for On-Campus MPH & MS in Healthcare Research
If a student cannot participate in full-time study, part-time tuition is charged on a per-credit basis:
1-6 credits per term = $7,133
7-11 credits per term = $12,482
12+ credits per term = $17,832
