Tuition

The total cost (including all ancillary fees) for Western's MPH Program is approximately $37,850 (domestic students) and approximately $61,745 (international students).  Tuition and ancillary fees are set by the Registrar's Office; current amounts can be found here. The MPH Program also charges $2,000 in supplemental fees to cover learning materials and practicum costs. 

Why are our tuition fees higher than other MPH Programs?

Our tuition fees are high because of the unique features of the Program and the extensive services we offer to you. First and foremost, we make extensive use of the resource-intensive case method of learning, which requires us to purchase and/or develop teaching cases. We have a low faculty-student ratio (1:6) thus providing individualized attention; in addition, our courses are exclusive only to our students. All learning materials, including text books and case studies, are provided. We also organize all practicum placements, taking the onus off the student to find their own opportunities. We pride ourselves on providing career advice and counseling to you for life. Last, but certainly not the least, we have a dedicated, state-of-the-art facility for you to enjoy.

Overall, the clear advantage of our one year Program is that you complete two years of intensive learning in one year, allowing you to enter the workforce one year early compared to most other MPH graduates.

Please note that the MPH Program is not an Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) eligible program. This is a course-based Program and there is no financial aid (bursaries, scholarships, etc.) available for MPH students.

Western's School of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies offers a Graduate Student Affordability Calculator to help you plan.
