Question

What’s the total cost of Boston University MiM (MSMS )  including living expenses in Boston?

J Bajwa · Accepted Answer

Boston isn&rsquo;t cheap &mdash; and the BU MiM program definitely reflects that.

The total cost for 2025&ndash;26 is about $96,200, including both billed and non-billed expenses.
Tuition alone is $69,870, split across Fall and Spring semesters.
Housing, food, transport, books, personal costs, and mandatory health insurance add another $25,000+.
Some students manage to shave off a few thousand by opting out of BU&rsquo;s health insurance (if they already have a valid U.S. plan) or living farther from campus.
One international student mentioned budgeting around $1,700/month for everything in Boston, and still had to dip into savings despite working part-time.

So yeah ,  the price tag is high, but the payoff could be worth it if you're targeting U.S. job roles and want access to Boston&rsquo;s corporate ecosystem.

The total cost of Boston University MiM (MSMS) for 2025&ndash;26 comes to approximately $96,200, including both tuition and estimated living expenses.
Here&rsquo;s the breakdown:

Tuition: $69,870
University fees: $1,152
Living (housing + food): $15,450
Health insurance: $3,538
Books, transport, and personal: Around $6,200 combined
Total: ~$96,204 for the 12-month program

Boston is on the higher end in terms of U.S. living costs, but the school&rsquo;s central location offers access to a ton of networking events, job fairs, and career treks. Some students also waive health insurance if already covered, which brings costs down a bit. For international students aiming to work in the U.S., the total investment makes sense given the 3-year OPT window.
