Fees & Financial Support

The Program Fees

The cost of tuition will vary based on your personal circumstances. Note that we have tried to be as transparent as possible with the following information: if comparing our costs to other MHA options, be sure to thoroughly research additional, mandatory fees like those we list below.

If you are a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident you will pay one fee which covers the 16-month program, with your payments spread out across each term.  For students starting in September 2023, this total fee was $18,211.68, but this is subject to annual review.  

If you are not a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident, you will ²¹±ô²õ´ÇÌýpay the International Tuition Fee.  For International Students starting the MHA in September 2023, this was $18,546 for Year 1.  In Year 2, this is reduced to the single term fee.  In September 2023, this was $9,273.  Therefore, the total program fee for an international student will be approximately $46,000, but this figure is subject to annual review. See the International Student page for more information.

In addition to the program cost, there are additional, mandatory incidental fees paid by all students at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø.  For students starting in September 2023, these mandatory fees came to just over $2,000 for the year.  These fees include benefits such as health insurance and comprehensive public transport around the city.   These fees are summarized on this page (link to Money Matters: opens in new tab): please review these carefully, focusing on the Studley and Carleton Campus fees.
