Expenses Harvard Medical School tuition rates are reset annually and cover courses taken from September 1 through August 31 each year up to the final year of enrollment ending with graduation.
Tuition is billed by semester.
This estimate includes tuition, health service fee and insurance premium, room and board, books, travel, transportation to clinical sites, laundry, and incidentals. Students whose homes are outside the northeast region of the United States may experience travel costs beyond the scope of this estimate. Students who opt for the 5-year program or whose time for meeting degree requirements at Harvard Medical School exceeds eight semesters and who have paid eight semesters of full tuition will be assessed a reduced tuition charge for each semester of enrollment beyond the eighth. Application for financial assistance is a process which is completely separate from the admissions process. In evaluating applicants for admission to Harvard Medical School, the Committee on Admissions will continue its long-standing policy of selecting candidates without regard to the candidate's ability to pay for medical school.
