The Humphrey School of Public Affairs is the University of Minnesota's school of policy and planning.


MPP Tuition + Costs

Value for money, a Humphrey degree is an excellent investment. The cost for a Minnesota resident to earn a two-year master's degree at the School is less than just one year of tuition at a liberal arts college. Annual tuition for non-Minnesota residents is about the same as that of most private colleges.

Total academic and living expenses will vary depending on a number of factors. The information below reflects tuition and fees and expected expenses for the 2011–2012 academic year.
