What Does a Graduate Education Cost?

The cost of a UMass Amherst graduate education includes tuition and fees. If you live on campus, you’ll have a room and board charge. Remember to factor in expenses for books and supplies, which generally range from $500-$1,000 per year. We set rates in the spring for the next academic year.
