Tuition
Current tuition costs and other fees are given on the Student Services Tuition and Fees page. Look at the cost for Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Note additional costs listed on the same page, including medical insurance, registration fees, student activity fees, and various late fees.
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences/Sociology Department covers tuition and pays a stipend for all active PhD students up to 5 years. Only a very small percentage of MA students have their tuition covered; most have to pay their own. For more information on tuition waivers and stipends, see Funding.
General Living Expenses:
A Student Services Financial Aid page estimates and adds up living expenses.
Insurance/Health Care
All BC students must have health insurance. For students who don't carry a policy of their own, Boston College is required by law to provide accessibility to a health insurance policy. Fees are listed on the Tuition and Fees page, but the most specific information on health insurance can be accessed from the Student Services Medical Insurance page.
There is also a University Health Services website. Note that most students are automatically charged the Campus Health Fee. See this website's Eligibility & Fees and Graduate Services Information pages to find out what fees and services apply to you.
Housing
Access the Residential Life website directly for information on housing.
