**Master of Architecture credits vary per year. Track I students generally enroll in 33-42 credits in the first year, 48 credits in the second, and 12 in the final year. The tuition for second year Track I students is comparable to that of first year Track II students. Track II students enroll in 48 credits the first year, and 12 credits in the final year.

***Students in the Master of Arts in Teaching/Art Education (MAT/AE) and Teacher Preparation Program (TPP) enroll in 6-9 credits per term. MAT/AE students may complete the program in 1.5-3 years. TPP students generally enroll for 2-3 semesters. Master of Science in Art Education (MSAE) students enroll in 3-6 credits per term.

Graduate course costs
Course charges accrue on a per-credit basis. With the exception of Professional and Continuing Education (PCE) courses, charges are for tuition alone. PCE courses charge an additional lab fee. Graduate tuition rates increase approximately 3-5 percent per year. The anticipated program cost is an estimated figure based on the current and projected cost.

Health insurance
Every student enrolled in nine credits or more MUST either enroll in MassArt's health insurance plan or submit an insurance waiver. Fall charge is for the full academic year. The MassArt insurance cost for 2011-2012 is $1,137. The cost of insurance may increase slightly for the next year.

Off-campus living expenses
The College Board estimates a moderate 9-month budget for Boston at $19,910 and $26,547 for 12 months.

The Graduate Program has not estimated expenses for supplies as this varies widely depending upon the department.

Campus housing

Graduate students rarely use campus housing. Graduate students who want campus housing must apply for housing in the Artists' Residence. For information about housing and costs for the Artists' Residence, visit the department of Housing and Residence Life.
