Funding Your Graduate Program

At the Boston University School of Hospitality Administration (BU SHA), we believe that talent should never be limited by tuition. That’s why every student admitted to our master’s programs—MMH, MSHRE, and MSHM—receives a minimum $14,000 guaranteed hospitality management scholarship. Our goal is to make earning a graduate degree in hospitality accessible to emerging leaders from around the world

Tuition and Expenses

Hospitality management tuition rates for the 2026–2027 academic year will be announced in April 2026.

If you register for more than 18 credits in a Fall/Spring term, you are charged $2,183 per credit for the overage. Credit overload requests must be approved by the Manager of Academic Services and Graduate Admissions. 

Medical Insurance Requirement

Massachusetts law requires all students enrolled in at least 75% of the full-time curriculum to have medical insurance. Students who cannot demonstrate coverage under a qualifying medical insurance plan are required to purchase the University’s student health insurance plan, which is due and payable with your first-semester charges. For more information, see the Student Accounting Services website.
