Costs and Financial Aid

The newly revised amounts for the 2025-2026 academic year can be found at the Registrar’s website. The listed fees include all costs for the program, except for books, and any air, ground, or rail transportation required to attend the in-person sessions.

MHCID is a one-year program.

• UC Irvine bills for each quarter. Program fees are paid in four equal installments at the beginning of each quarter.
• Fees do not include other living expenses, student health insurance, or specific campus-based fees (e.g., student recreation center).

Please note that the MHCID is a self-supporting degree program; thus, certain fee waivers traditionally accepted by the University of California may not be accepted. For example, we do not accept Calvet Waivers nor is there a discount for “in-state” students. However, all students will be eligible for financial aid.

The MHCID program offers fellowships. All admitted students are considered. Fellowship decisions are made by the admissions committee and announced by the start of Fall quarter.
