TUITION AND FEES

Here are the Numbers

The most significant type of financial aid offered by Baruch's School of Public Affairs is the considerable tuition subsidy provided for all students by New York City and New York State. Tuition and fees at the School of Public Affairs are as little as one-third those of comparable schools of public affairs.

We're here to help you by offering a number of different financial opportunities, including scholarships, graduate assistantships and paid internship opportunities.

General Information
Graduate students are considered full-time when enrolled in 12 or more graduate credits during a given semester. Residents of New York State benefit from a fixed rate of tuition when enrolled for full-time study at Baruch College. Residents of other states, full- and part-time, as well as full-time International students pay their tuition per graduate credit. The Executive MPA program is held exclusively on Saturdays, yet is considered a full-time program, since it requires the completion of 42 credits within a two-year period. New York State residents in the Executive MPA program also benefit from a fixed cost. It includes program tuition, course textbooks, student activity and technology fees, meals, special events, use of college facilities, and administrative fees. Residents of other states in the Executive MPA program pay an additional amount over and above in-state tuition, which is equal to the difference between out-of-state and in-state per credit tuition for each graduate credit in our traditional programs.
