What does it cost to attend Hamline?
When you invest in a graduate program at Hamline, you benefit from a prestigious degree from Minnesota's first university. We work hard to ensure our tuition, accompanied by scholarships, tuition discounts, and other financial aid, is a worthwhile investment for all students.

The cost of tuition was a big factor for me, so when I was looking at local schools here in Washington, many of them felt financially inaccessible. So Hamline was my savior. I would not be where I am had it not been for Hamline.
