Tuition and Fees
Tuition costs vary according to degree program requirements. Students should refer to their scholarship notification from the Graduate Studies Office for more specific tuition estimates.
Tuition increases each year; typically by 4%.
Indirect Costs
Indirect costs are expenses that are typically incurred and not paid directly to the Eastman School of Music.
Graduate Costs & Financial Aid
Graduate tuition is charged per credit. Costs can have considerable individual variation, depending on the degree program and graduate scholarship assignment, living expenses, the cost of books and supplies, etc. Full-time enrollment is 9 units per semester.
Graduate students are considered to be financially independent. Graduate students generally receive a partial tuition scholarship, and may also receive a stipend (salary for work performed). The scholarship and stipend are connected; a student may not accept one portion and decline the other.
If you are borrowing a Graduate Unsubsidized Loan, the average loan fee is $216.
