Tuition & Financial Aid

The Weill Cornell Medicine MSHS for Physician Assistants Program tuition is estimated to increase by 7.5% for the upcoming 2026-2027 academic year, compared to the 2025-2026 tuition rate. This would bring the total estimated tuition for the full program to approximately $122,685 (this amount has not been officially approved, is subject to change, and is provided for planning purposes only). In addition, program fees are expected to increase compared to the 2025-2026 fees, reflecting updated costs for program delivery and support services. As part of this update, a transportation fee will also be introduced during the clinical year to support off-site learning activities, and travel related to clinical rotations.
