A master’s at Harvard costs different amounts depending on the school. There is no single price, so identify your program first, then check its official tuition page.
For the 2025-26 academic year, published tuition figures include about 57,328 dollars at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, 62,244 dollars at the Graduate School of Education, 61,926 dollars at the Kennedy School of Government, 61,510 dollars at the Graduate School of Design, 80,760 dollars at Harvard Law School, and 78,700 dollars at Harvard Business School. Divinity School tuition is lower, at about 31,080 dollars.
Engineering master’s programs at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences are priced separately. The one-year SM in Computational Science and Engineering costs about 65,536 dollars for 2025-26.
Tuition is only part of the total. Add housing, food, health insurance, books, and personal expenses, which together can add tens of thousands of dollars per year. Each school publishes a full cost-of-attendance budget; use it rather than tuition alone when planning.
Funding varies by program. Some master’s students receive school-based aid, while others rely on loans or outside scholarships. If you are weighing program length against cost, read whether Harvard offers a one-year master’s, and see scholarships for master’s degrees for funding ideas. If cost is the deciding factor, also look at affordable online master’s programs as an alternative.
