Affordable MPH Programs

MPH programs that publish a per-credit tuition rate, compared only against programs with the same billing basis and residency category. Lower tuition is not the same as better value, and this page is not a quality ranking.

How cost is treated here

  • Basis: per-credit tuition only. Annual, per-term and whole-program figures are not mixed in; programs that publish only those are listed separately below.
  • Residency: in-state rates and single all-student rates are in separate groups. Out-of-state and international rates are shown on each program page.
  • Academic year: shown for every figure. Rates change every year, so check the current bursar page.
  • Fees: mandatory fees, books, technology and per-term charges are not included and are unknown unless stated on the program page. “Estimated tuition-only total” = rate × the published credit total; it is an estimate, not a quote.
  • Sponsorship plays no role in this list or its order.

In-state (resident) per-credit tuition (4)

Rates for residents of the institution’s state. Not available to everyone: out-of-state rates are usually higher. Ordered by published rate, lowest first.
