MMH
Tuition and Funding
Your education is a significant, long-term investment, and the MMH is designed to deliver maximum value.
Whatever your circumstances, economic considerations should not keep you from applying to the MMH program. Your ability to finance your education has no bearing on our admission decision. Financial aid decisions are made only after applicants are admitted.
