The cost of attending Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai varies by degree. In the 2024-25 federal institutional reporting, full-time graduate tuition was $33,902 for both in-state and out-of-state students, with $182 in required fees. Those figures describe a reported graduate tuition category; they should not be treated as the MD program's total annual cost or as a current quote for every master's or PhD student.
A student's full cost of attendance can also include housing, food, books and supplies, transportation, health insurance, and personal expenses. New York City living costs can materially affect that total. The school publishes program- and year-specific budgets that are more useful for borrowing and aid decisions than tuition alone; students should use the budget for their own degree and entering year rather than add expenses from a different reporting period.
Published cost is not the same as what a student ultimately pays. Depending on eligibility and program, financing may include institutional scholarships or grants, research funding, federal graduate loans, outside awards, and veterans' education benefits. Some research degrees have funding arrangements that differ sharply from those of MD or professional master's programs. Aid applicants should check their program's financial-aid instructions and distinguish grants, which generally do not require repayment, from loans, which do.
Student employment opportunities at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai depend on a student's degree, schedule, and financial-aid eligibility. Research assistantships, teaching assignments, and other paid roles may be relevant to some graduate students; clinical training required by a degree is not automatically paid employment.
Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is a need-based aid program under which wages are earned through approved work. It is different from a grant credited to a tuition bill and different from an ordinary part-time job. Students should ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study applies to their program and award, then follow the applicable hiring process. MD students in particular should weigh any outside work against a demanding class and clinical schedule.
