Additional Fees

Tuition Deposit

Upon acceptance of admission, a deposit of $500 payable directly to the Yale School of Nursing is required to hold a place in the entering class. If a decision is made not to matriculate, the deposit will not be refunded.

Concentration Fees

Students enrolling in one of the five concentrations offered to M.S.N. students will incur an additional fee in an amount equivalent to 4 credits charged at the YSN per-credit rate for the academic year in which they are enrolled.  

Dual Nurse-Midwifery/Women’s Health Specialty Fee

Students who are accepted into the NM/WHNP dual specialty will pay an additional fee, split over four terms, beginning in the fall of the first specialty year. For students enrolled in the dual specialty in 2025–2026, the fee is $17,908 (of which $4477 is due each term for four terms). If, at the end of the first two terms, a student elects to drop one of the specialty tracks, the student will not need to pay the second-year dual specialty fee. If the student drops a specialty track in the second year, the fee will not be refunded.

Required Fees

The university requires hospitalization insurance for all students. Students will be billed $3,422 in 2025–2026 for single-student hospitalization/specialty coverage with Yale Health (see Health Services in the chapter Yale University Resources and Services). This fee may be waived with proof of alternative coverage for each year of enrollment.

Students are also responsible for the cost of equipment, uniforms, books, photocopying, transportation to and from clinical sites, and on-site parking, if needed.

Other Fees

Other service fees charged by the university include, but are not limited to: late fees for past due charges, late registration, course schedule changes after the add/drop period, Internet connectivity from a Yale residence hall, and late return of library materials.
