Program Costs: 2024-25

All applicants are automatically considered for partial tuition scholarships, which most of them receive (amounts being determined by their application' ranking in the admission review). All students also receive a summer term scholarship to cover tuition and fees for the two summers that they are enrolled in the program. These tuition scholarships bring down the total costs that students incur. 

Students may find details on fees mentioned above on the LGS tuition and fees page.

Variable Costs  

To enroll at Emory University, students are required to have health insurance. They may choose the Emory University Student Health Insurance Plan (EUSHIP) or opt out of this plan by providing proof of comparable coverage. We recommend EUSHIP because it covers travel consultations, immunization costs, and medical care while completing international field practicums. Detailed information on the health insurance requirements is available on the LGS Health Insurance web page.

Students will also have living expenses, including food, lodging, transportation, personal necessities, and leisure activities, which vary depending on each student's lifestyle. For further information on, please consult our Life at Emory and in Atlanta page and the LGS Student and Faculty Resources page.

Paid internships that students engage in during the academic year and financial support that students receive from the program and/or its partners for summer practicums help address and/or reduce some of their living expenses. See information on the Financial Support page.
