Tuition and Fees

Additional Housing Expenses: Incoming students are advised that since MSPA programming begins in mid-to-late August, MSPA students should plan to arrive on campus by mid August. Students living on campus must request early move-in from Housing and plan for ~$1,500 to cover this expense (costs vary according to move-in date and housing type).

Additional Tuition Costs: The MSPA Program is 9 quarters in length.  If a student is not making standard academic progress and is unable to complete the program in 9 quarters, additional tuition costs will apply for any additional quarters needed to complete the program.  This additional tuition will be at a lower rate than standard.

For more information on fees, please view the Fees page in the Stanford Bulletin.

Master of Science in PA Studies Program students are eligible for graduate housing.  To learn more about costs and options, please visit the Stanford University Housing website.

If you are moving to off-campus housing and need a loan to cover move-in expenses, you may be interested in this loan. Please contact the University's financial aid office with any questions.
