• 2024-25 full-time graduate tuition: $48,992.
• 2024-25 required graduate fees: $1,650.
• 2024-25 part-time graduate tuition: $1,633 per credit.

The reported tuition and fee amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state graduate students. A working budget also needs New York housing, food, transportation, health coverage, personal expenses, and potentially substantial art materials and fabrication costs. These are 2024-25 figures, not a quote for a later entry term. An individual's eventual cost depends on current charges, enrollment pattern, living arrangements, and aid awarded.

Graduate students should review institutional scholarship terms and federal loan eligibility when calculating what they would need to pay or borrow. Federal Pell Grants, which primarily serve eligible undergraduates, should not be assumed to finance an MFA.

What are the work-study opportunities at New York Academy of Art?

Students seeking paid work should distinguish an academy job from Federal Work-Study, an internship, and freelance art practice. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is a financial-aid program under which wages are earned by working; it is not a grant paid simply because it appears in an aid package.

An applicant interested in campus employment should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study is offered for the relevant year and how positions are filled. Studio schedules and the hours required for outside work are also worth considering together. Exhibitions and professional contacts can contribute to career development, but they should not be counted on as paid employment.
