Cost of Attendance
Harvard tuition and living costs are among the highest in the U.S., but need-based financial aid can substantially reduce what eligible students pay. Budget for tuition, housing, food, health insurance, books, and personal expenses in the Cambridge / Boston area.
| Expense | Approximate annual cost (USD) |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate tuition (approx.) | $59,000+ |
| Graduate / professional tuition | Varies widely by school - often $50,000–$80,000+ |
| Housing, food & personal expenses | $25,000+ |
| Health insurance & fees | Budget several thousand USD depending on plan and school |
Figures are approximate for planning only. Always confirm the latest 2026–27 fee schedule on the official Harvard school pages. Aid awards can change the net cost significantly.
