Tuition is $1,280 per credit hour, for a total of $49,920 if you are required to take all of the foundation courses (6 credit hours) in addition to the standard curriculum of 33 credit hours.
All full-time students will also be assessed the Washington University student health fee of $686 and student activity fee of $100. Tuition rates change annually in the summer and will be updated on this site. We don't offer specific scholarships or special financial aid packages. However, financing in the form of student loans and work study may be available.
If you’re a Washington University undergraduate who would like to pursue the MS/Finance program in a four-semester format, concurrently with the completion of your undergraduate studies, contact Gary Hochberg, Director of Specialized Master’s Programs, at Hochberg@wustl.edu to discuss your tuition.
You will be billed for tuition and fees prior to the beginning of each semester. Payments received by Washington University after the specified due date are subject to a late-payment fee.
Students who receive company reimbursement, as well as those who receive other forms of financial aid, are responsible for payment of their tuition by the specified due date, at the beginning of each term. It may be necessary for you to apply for a loan or pay the cost out-of-pocket, until your federal loan and/or employer reimbursement funds become available.
Financial aid comes from a variety of sources, including the Olin Business School, federal government, and public and private sources.
Your need for financial aid has no bearing on our admission decision – we evaluate your application without regard to financial need.
- Your eligibility for a particular form of financial aid is determined by a variety of factors including your citizenship status and the program in which you intend to enroll.
- Apply for financial aid early in the application process. Do not assume that you will not be eligible for financial aid.
Need-based aid is given to students who have demonstrated financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), submitted to the federal government. “Need” is the difference between the cost of education (tuition, room, board, fees, books and miscellaneous expenses) and the amount the student is expected to pay. Options include subsidized Stafford loans.
Non-need-based loans are available to students who have not demonstrated financial need in accordance with the federal formula, but request assistance in meeting the cost of a graduate education. These programs are available to students regardless of income and assets. Non-need-based aid includes unsubsidized Stafford loans and alternative loans.
An interest-free payment plan spreads yearly tuition payments over 10, nine or eight months. The deadline to enroll is August 1. There is a yearly administrative fee. For details visit the Student Financial Services Web site.
