Graduate students generally incur greater expenses than undergraduates. Most attend the Institute for a calendar year rather than an academic year, increasing the cost of tuition.

2023–2024 tuition* (9 months)

2023 summer tuition for students enrolled in courses

* Specific programs and departments may have different tuition amounts. Tuition rates are set by the Academic Council in the spring for the following academic year.

MIT’s residential system can accommodate approximately 37% of the graduate student population; the rest find housing in the Boston/Cambridge area. Graduate stu dents’ costs for housing, food, books, medical insurance, and incidentals vary widely depending on marital status, quality-of-life expectations, and housing arrangements. For example, monthly charges for on-campus housing range from $972 to $3,373, depending on housing type and location.

Financial Aid

Financial aid for graduate students is in large part provided by individual departments, and the amount of aid varies significantly. Financial support includes fellowships, teaching and research assistantships, and loans. Most forms of support are granted for merit, while others are granted for financial need or a combination of merit and need.

Approximately 2,412 graduate students are primarily supported as research assistants and 662 are appointed as teaching assistants; 2,119 are supported on fellowships.

The Cost of Graduate School

The Cost of Applying to Graduate School

There is a $75 application fee for all applicants to the PhD program. We offer application fee waivers to domestic applicants who meet our requirements. For further information please visit the  Application Fee Waiver  section. If you are interested in receiving a fee waiver, you must apply for one before the application deadline; once the fee waiver has been paid for, it is not possible to refund.

Unfortunately, the Chemistry Department can only waive the $75 application fee for international applicants if they have already applied and paid an application fee for another PhD program at MIT in the same admission cycle.

Applicants whose primary language is not English must take the TOEFL or IELTS exam and report their official scores. The MIT reporting code is 3514, and the department code is 62. We can waive the TOEFL/IELTS requirement for international applicants who have completed 3 or more years in a degree-granting program instructed exclusively in English, or who consider English to be their primary language.

The Cost of Attending Graduate School

Once the application fees are behind you, there are still some costs associated with attending graduate school, such as:

• Tuition, fees, & insurance
• Room & Board (on- or off-campus)
• Conference, training, and research travel costs
• Cost of living

All students admitted to the PhD program receive full tuition coverage along with a monthly stipend for the first academic year, either through Teaching Assistantships, Research Assistantships, or fellowships. Students must be eligible to work in the United States in order to receive funding. After the first year, continued funding is provided for the duration of the PhD program, subject to the availability of funds for that purpose, as long as students remain in good academic standing.

All admitted Chemistry students receive:

• Base stipend for 12 months. Current stipend rates are available online.
• 100% tuition waiver.
• 100% health insurance subsidy for the Extended Insurance plan . Basic student health insurance is included in tuition; all PhD students receive Extended Insurance support. Students will be responsible for paying for spouses, dependents, co-pays and other fees for services.

Students are responsible for paying the Student Life Fee each term. Information about the current Student Life Fee is available online.  This helps fund student clubs, organizations, and the sports and fitness center. This fee covers students’ unlimited access to the gym, fitness classes, student organization events, and trips.

Cambridge/Boston Area Cost of Living

Living costs in the Cambridge/Boston area are among the highest in the United States. It is important to carefully consider your living expenses prior to arrival.

MIT Doctoral Programs in Computational Science and Engineering

The Center for Computational Science and Engineering (CCSE) offers two doctoral programs in computational science and engineering (CSE) – one leading to a standalone PhD degree in CSE offered entirely by CCSE (CSE PhD) and the other leading to an interdisciplinary PhD degree offered jointly with participating departments in the School of Engineering and the School of Science (Dept-CSE PhD).

While both programs enable students to specialize at the doctoral level in a computation-related field via focused coursework and a thesis, they differ in essential ways. The standalone CSE PhD program is intended for students who intend to pursue research in cross-cutting methodological aspects of computational science. The resulting doctoral degree in Computational Science and Engineering is awarded by CCSE via the the Schwarzman College of Computing. In contrast, the interdisciplinary CSE PhD program is intended for students who are interested in computation in the context of a specific engineering or science discipline. For this reason, this degree is offered jointly with participating departments across the Institute; the interdisciplinary degree is awarded in a specially crafted thesis field that recognizes the student’s specialization in computation within the chosen engineering or science discipline.

For more information about CCSE’s doctoral programs, please explore the links on the left. Information about our application and admission process is available via the ‘ Admissions ‘ tab in our menu. MIT Registrar’s Office provides graduate tuition and fee rates as set by the MIT Corporation and the Graduate Admissions section of MIT’s Office of Graduate Education (OGE) website contains additional information about costs of attendance and funding .

The PhD Program is integral to the research of MIT Sloan's world-class faculty. With a reputation as risk-takers who are unafraid to embrace the unconventional, they are engaged in exciting disciplinary and interdisciplinary research that often includes PhD students as key team members.

Research centers across MIT Sloan and MIT provide a rich setting for collaboration and exploration. In addition to exposure to the faculty, PhD students also learn from one another in a creative, supportive research community.

Throughout MIT Sloan's history, our professors have devised theories and fields of study that have had a profound impact on management theory and practice.

From Douglas McGregor's Theory X/Theory Y distinction to Nobel-recognized breakthroughs in finance by Franco Modigliani and in option pricing by Robert Merton and Myron Scholes, MIT Sloan's faculty have been unmatched innovators.

This legacy of innovative thinking and dedication to research impacts every faculty member and filters down to the students who work beside them.

The cost of attendance for the 2023–2024 academic year is  $82,730.   This number is actually much lower than what it costs MIT to educate students .  For more detailed information regarding the cost of attendance, including specific costs for tuition and fees, books and supplies, housing and food as well as transportation, please visit the SFS website .

However, most students pay far less than the total cost of attendance because of our  need-based financial aid . A detailed estimate of the cost of attendance (prior to financial aid) is provided by Student Financial Services.

Key points:

• Tuition is prorated if a student withdraws .
• In addition to tuition, there may be fees that are also charged each term, such as the student activity fee.
• All students automatically receive basic medical coverage through MIT Health as part of their tuition. Additional medical coverage for the student and/or families is available through the  MIT Student Health Insurance Plan . See  Student Health Insurance  and  Medical Requirements  for further information.

Visiting Student Fees

The table below reflects standard undergraduate tuition rates for the 2023–2024 academic year. Amounts are per term, unless noted.

Undergraduate tuition, per term, fall and spring, 2023–2024

Regular undergraduate students who have permission to take only a few subjects are initially charged full tuition. They may then apply to have their tuition charged at the rate of $925 per unit with the approval of the faculty advisor. In such cases, there is a minimum fee of $5,550 for subjects and a minimum of $1,850 for the SB thesis. Registration for 32 or more units will be assessed the full tuition charge. Upon recommendation of a department, the Office of the Vice Chancellor may set a special tuition rate in unusual circumstances. Financial aid will be adjusted based on enrollment costs. Some classes (including ROTC and classes taken on listener status) are not included in the determination of financial aid eligibility.

Internship and cooperative programs offered by MIT provide industrial and research experience through a series of work assignments interwoven with regular study at the Institute. The tuition fee for these programs is the same as that for other regular undergraduate students.

Visiting Student Fees 

Students who are pursuing a degree at an institution of higher education other than MIT and have been invited by faculty in an MIT department, laboratory, or center to do research here may apply for visiting student status. Current regular or special MIT students, or MIT students who have withdrawn or are on a leave of absence, are not eligible.

Visiting students are subject to a monthly fee that includes registration, MIT's Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) , and student life fees. The fee entitles visiting students to conduct research, use our fitness facilities, participate in student life programming, and have access to care at MIT Health. Full monthly fees are charged regardless of whether the student starts on the first or the 15th of the month. The total fee for the duration of their stay must be paid in full and in advance. Additional costs will be applied for those who wish to enroll family members in SHIP.

Visiting student fees, 2023–2024

Withdrawal .

A student withdrawing before the start of a term is not charged any tuition for that term, and any tuition payments previously made for that term will be refunded. Students withdrawing during the fall or spring term are charged one-twelfth of the stated tuition for the term for each week from the starting date of the term, with a minimum two-week charge. A student is financially obligated to the Institute for the tuition appropriate to the program approved by his or her faculty advisor at the beginning of the term. Any subsequent reduction in fees is based on the date that cancellation of subject or withdrawal from the Institute is effected. At that time, any excess payments which the student has made will be refunded.

For more detailed information regarding the cost of attendance, including specific costs for tuition and fees, books and supplies, housing and food as well as transportation, please  visit the SFS website .

If the student receives financial aid through one of the federal student financial aid programs, and aid is reduced as a consequence of the reduced tuition, the reduction in aid will be made in accordance with current federal regulations. Contact  Student Financial Services  for more information.

All students pay a student life fee each term. Late registration or applications may result in additional fees. See the Academic Calendar for relevant dates and deadlines.

Miscellaneous student fees*, 2023–2024

Processing charges for late changes in registration.

A late change in registration , which requires a petition to the Committee on Academic Performance, is defined as adding a subject after the fifth week or dropping a subject during the last three weeks of a term. The processing charge for late changes is $25. There is an additional charge of $25 for a change judged by the Committee to result from the student's neglect.

Payment of tuition entitles all regular and special students to receive many health care services at MIT Health at no charge. The MIT Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) covers hospitalization due to accidents or illness, along with other services and prescription medications, and meets the state’s requirement for comprehensive health insurance.

Enrollment in MIT SHIP is automatic for full-time students, unless they can demonstrate that they have comparable coverage through another insurance program, in which case they may submit an online request to waive coverage . Complete details on MIT SHIP are available on the MIT Medical website.

Updated rates for the MIT Student Insurance Plan can be found on the MIT Health website. Students can also purchase MIT SHIP coverage for family members, including partners and dependents. Refer to the Medical Requirements section for additional details or read more about the MIT Student Health Insurance Plan .

Undergraduate Payment of Tuition and Other Institute Charges

An individual who registers as a student at MIT agrees to pay all charges on their account when due and acknowledges that the Institute may charge a hold fee, suspend registration, revoke Institute services, and/or withhold the degree if these charges are not paid.

Student Financial Services (SFS)  gathers, bills, and collects student charges and provides a student account statement of all activity. These charges originate in the offices from which the student receives Institute services. SFS bills by posting a monthly billing statement on MITPay —our secure, online billing and payment system. Statements are posted on or around the 10th of the month. SFS sends students a monthly email reminder to check their statement and pay any balance due. The statement includes charges (e.g., tuition, fees, housing, and library fees), payments (financial aid, tuition awards), additional amounts due, and payment deadlines.

To access MITPay, log in to  WebSIS  and use the MITPay link to view your account and make payments. Visit the SFS website for information about MITPay and other payment methods .

Payment in full or a satisfactory arrangement for payment is due by August 1 for the fall term and by January 1 for the spring term. New charges that occur after the initial statement will appear on a subsequent statement. If a student anticipates that they may not be able to pay the entire amount due by the term bill due date, there is a monthly payment plan available for students.

The  MIT Monthly Payment Plan  is an installment arrangement that allows students to pay their balance in monthly installments interest-free. The terms and conditions of the monthly payment plan are available on the SFS website. Enrollment can be accessed through MITPay.

SFS also offers information on  federal student loan programs  as additional options for eligible U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

A student who does not pay the balance due or make satisfactory arrangements for doing so will have a registration or degree hold placed on their account, and they will be charged a hold fee of $100. The balance due, including the hold fee, must be paid in full before the hold can be released.

Students who have unanticipated financial situations during the term should contact their financial aid counselor to develop a plan of action. There are also resources available via Student Support Services . MIT policies are designed to allow students sufficient time to resolve their financial difficulties. Students owing fall term balances have from July to November to pay their account balance before a hold is imposed; students owing spring term balances have from December to April. 

Notifications to Undergraduates with Unpaid Balances

In the fifth week of the term, SFS will reach out to undergraduates who have an unpaid balance on their student account and who have not made satisfactory arrangements for payment of the balance. These students will be notified of MIT’s financial hold policy through the billing system as well as by email. SFS will send out a second reminder email and billing notification after the 11th week of the term, again notifying students of MIT’s financial hold policy.

Policy on Undergraduate Financial Holds

Undergraduate students are subject to the financial hold policy adopted by the Committee on the Undergraduate Program (CUP) and the Committee on Academic Performance (CAP) in 1998. Students who have not paid their outstanding student account balance, made satisfactory arrangements with SFS to pay the balance, or completed a financial aid application will lose access to student services for subsequent terms. Removal of services includes the right to register for the term, Athena access, MIT housing, dining, the MIT Card, and library access. Students who have not made efforts to resolve their financial situation will not be allowed to register, will not receive credit retroactively, and will be charged a $100 hold fee. The student account must be paid in full before a degree can be awarded.   

Removal of Services and Other Actions

Undergraduate students who have not paid or made satisfactory arrangements for payment of unpaid balances from the previous term may not register for subsequent terms and may be restricted from Institute services. When students have not made satisfactory payment arrangements by Registration Day of the subsequent term, SFS and other Institute offices may take the following actions:

• Suspending the right to live in MIT housing.
• Deactivating the MIT Card, leading to loss of access to all services the card provides. These services include but are not limited to the libraries, the dining system, computing resources, and Institute housing.
• Suspending all computer services, including Athena access and use of MIT licensed software.
• Students will be permitted to retain an mit.edu email address which will be forwarded to a specified outside email provider until the normal graduation date.
• Removing the student from student payroll and UROP systems.
• Removing the student from class rosters and barring participation in class projects and assignments.
• Not reviewing the student’s financial aid application for the upcoming academic year until their past due balance has been paid.

Student accounts unpaid after the student has left MIT for any reason may be reported to credit bureau agencies and/or sent to an outside collection agency and assessed additional fees on the outstanding balance. Please visit the  SFS website  for more information and to review the  Student Financial Responsibility Statement.

Cost and affordability: Cost of attendance

The annual student budget is the total price of an MIT education—per student, per year.

The annual student budget, or cost of attendance, is the total amount we estimate it will cost a student to attend MIT for one year. ⁠It includes costs that are billed by MIT, such as tuition, housing, food, and estimates for other expenses, such as books, supplies, and personal expenses. We use this budget to determine financial aid for every student. However, you should know that most students pay far less because of our need-based financial aid.

The median annual price paid by an undergraduate who received an MIT Scholarship was $12,715 ⁠ 01 2022–2023 is the last year for which we have full data.   for the 2022–2023 academic year. We work with all financial aid applicants to make sure an MIT education is affordable .

MIT faculty, instructors, students experiment with generative AI in teaching and learning

How can MIT’s community leverage generative AI to support learning and work on campus and beyond?

At MIT’s Festival of Learning 2024, faculty and instructors, students, staff, and alumni exchanged perspectives about the digital tools and innovations they’re experimenting with in the classroom. Panelists agreed that generative AI should be used to scaffold — not replace — learning experiences.

This annual event, co-sponsored by MIT Open Learning and the Office of the Vice Chancellor, celebrates teaching and learning innovations. When introducing new teaching and learning technologies, panelists stressed the importance of iteration and teaching students how to develop critical thinking skills while leveraging technologies like generative AI.

“The Festival of Learning brings the MIT community together to explore and celebrate what we do every day in the classroom,” said Christopher Capozzola, senior associate dean for open learning. “This year's deep dive into generative AI was reflective and practical — yet another remarkable instance of ‘mind and hand’ here at the Institute.”   

Incorporating generative AI into learning experiences 

MIT faculty and instructors aren’t just willing to experiment with generative AI — some believe it’s a necessary tool to prepare students to be competitive in the workforce. “In a future state, we will know how to teach skills with generative AI, but we need to be making iterative steps to get there instead of waiting around,” said Melissa Webster, lecturer in managerial communication at MIT Sloan School of Management. 

Some educators are revisiting their courses’ learning goals and redesigning assignments so students can achieve the desired outcomes in a world with AI. Webster, for example, previously paired written and oral assignments so students would develop ways of thinking. But, she saw an opportunity for teaching experimentation with generative AI. If students are using tools such as ChatGPT to help produce writing, Webster asked, “how do we still get the thinking part in there?”

One of the new assignments Webster developed asked students to generate cover letters through ChatGPT and critique the results from the perspective of future hiring managers. Beyond learning how to refine generative AI prompts to produce better outputs, Webster shared that “students are thinking more about their thinking.” Reviewing their ChatGPT-generated cover letter helped students determine what to say and how to say it, supporting their development of higher-level strategic skills like persuasion and understanding audiences.

Takako Aikawa, senior lecturer at the MIT Global Studies and Languages Section, redesigned a vocabulary exercise to ensure students developed a deeper understanding of the Japanese language, rather than just right or wrong answers. Students compared short sentences written by themselves and by ChatGPT and developed broader vocabulary and grammar patterns beyond the textbook. “This type of activity enhances not only their linguistic skills but stimulates their metacognitive or analytical thinking,” said Aikawa. “They have to think in Japanese for these exercises.”

While these panelists and other Institute faculty and instructors are redesigning their assignments, many MIT undergraduate and graduate students across different academic departments are leveraging generative AI for efficiency: creating presentations, summarizing notes, and quickly retrieving specific ideas from long documents. But this technology can also creatively personalize learning experiences. Its ability to communicate information in different ways allows students with different backgrounds and abilities to adapt course material in a way that’s specific to their particular context. 

Generative AI, for example, can help with student-centered learning at the K-12 level. Joe Diaz, program manager and STEAM educator for MIT pK-12 at Open Learning, encouraged educators to foster learning experiences where the student can take ownership. “Take something that kids care about and they’re passionate about, and they can discern where [generative AI] might not be correct or trustworthy,” said Diaz.

Panelists encouraged educators to think about generative AI in ways that move beyond a course policy statement. When incorporating generative AI into assignments, the key is to be clear about learning goals and open to sharing examples of how generative AI could be used in ways that align with those goals. 

The importance of critical thinking

Although generative AI can have positive impacts on educational experiences, users need to understand why large language models might produce incorrect or biased results. Faculty, instructors, and student panelists emphasized that it’s critical to contextualize how generative AI works. “[Instructors] try to explain what goes on in the back end and that really does help my understanding when reading the answers that I’m getting from ChatGPT or Copilot,” said Joyce Yuan, a senior in computer science. 

Jesse Thaler, professor of physics and director of the National Science Foundation Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions, warned about trusting a probabilistic tool to give definitive answers without uncertainty bands. “The interface and the output needs to be of a form that there are these pieces that you can verify or things that you can cross-check,” Thaler said.

When introducing tools like calculators or generative AI, the faculty and instructors on the panel said it’s essential for students to develop critical thinking skills in those particular academic and professional contexts. Computer science courses, for example, could permit students to use ChatGPT for help with their homework if the problem sets are broad enough that generative AI tools wouldn’t capture the full answer. However, introductory students who haven’t developed the understanding of programming concepts need to be able to discern whether the information ChatGPT generated was accurate or not.

Ana Bell, senior lecturer of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and MITx digital learning scientist, dedicated one class toward the end of the semester of Course 6.100L (Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python) to teach students how to use ChatGPT for programming questions. She wanted students to understand why setting up generative AI tools with the context for programming problems, inputting as many details as possible, will help achieve the best possible results. “Even after it gives you a response back, you have to be critical about that response,” said Bell. By waiting to introduce ChatGPT until this stage, students were able to look at generative AI’s answers critically because they had spent the semester developing the skills to be able to identify whether problem sets were incorrect or might not work for every case. 

A scaffold for learning experiences

The bottom line from the panelists during the Festival of Learning was that generative AI should provide scaffolding for engaging learning experiences where students can still achieve desired learning goals. The MIT undergraduate and graduate student panelists found it invaluable when educators set expectations for the course about when and how it’s appropriate to use AI tools. Informing students of the learning goals allows them to understand whether generative AI will help or hinder their learning. Student panelists asked for trust that they would use generative AI as a starting point, or treat it like a brainstorming session with a friend for a group project. Faculty and instructor panelists said they will continue iterating their lesson plans to best support student learning and critical thinking. 

Panelists from both sides of the classroom discussed the importance of generative AI users being responsible for the content they produce and avoiding automation bias — trusting the technology’s response implicitly without thinking critically about why it produced that answer and whether it’s accurate. But since generative AI is built by people making design decisions, Thaler told students, “You have power to change the behavior of those tools.”
