Graduate Tuition and Scholarships

Tuition and Fees

Syracuse University graduate tuition is charged by the credit hour. The graduate tuition rate is set by the Syracuse University Board of Trustees each year; while we don’t yet know the tuition for the 2025-26 academic year, you can use the current rate and knowledge that it typically increases by 3 to 5% to help with your planning. The 2024-25 graduate tuition rate is $1,945 per credit.

Other Costs

In addition to the direct cost of attendance, graduate students should anticipate indirect costs throughout the duration of their programs. These costs include books and supplies, housing, transportation, and others; they are not billed by Syracuse University.

Please see the Syracuse University Graduate Student Cost of Attendance page for other expenses such as mandatory health insurance and student fees.

Many affordable options for off-campus housing are available in the city of Syracuse. Additionally, be sure to consider the overall program length when comparing offers, as a 2-year program will have twice the living expense costs compared to a 1-year program.
