Since MSEM is a professional degree, most master’s students will be expected to cover their own tuition and expenses, though some merit aid may be available at the discretion of the admissions committee.
Tuition
The typical duration of a full-time student in the MSEM program is 3 semesters. Students can opt to attend part-time in their third semester. Please refer to the Affording Your Education page for current full-time and part-time tuition rates, as well as the overall costs associated with attending graduate school at JHU.
Fellowships
Limited fellowships are available to MSEM applicants. See the list below for additional details or visit the Whiting School of Engineering’s website to learn more about all financial aid options available to its graduate students.
