Tuition and Financial Aid
Educational costs are assessed each term and are based on the number of credits a student enrolls in per term. A moderate increase in tuition and registration/service fees is to be expected each academic year. The Board of Trustees at NYU reserves the right to alter the schedule of fees without notice.

- Total cost per credit: $2,185
- Registration/service fee for first credit each term: $560
- Registration/service fee for additional credits each term: $77
Students in the online master of arts in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness program can expect to pay approximately $131,000 in tuition over the course of the program.
