UMass Boston

Northeast students now save more than $11,000 off the cost of out-of-state tuition.

We're proud to offer our regional neighbors from New England, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania reduced tuition through the Northeast Regional Tuition Break Program. For years, UMass Boston has offered qualifying New England students discounted tuition rates through the New England Board of Higher Education’s Tuition Break program. As of the fall 2025 semester, we are pleased to extend the regional tuition break of more than $11,000 off the out-of-state tuition rate to new students who are residents of New Jersey, New York, or Pennsylvania. Along with our generous financial aid and merit scholarships, the Northeast Regional Tuition Break puts a world-class education within your reach.

• Picture yourself in our modern on-campus residence halls, located steps from classes and public transportation, with sweeping views of the city skyline and Boston Harbor.
• Get access to the many internships, networks, and state-of-the-art facilities that the city’s only public research university provides.
• Boston is a hub for business, medicine, research, technology, and the arts. As a student you’ll be in the center of it all.

Global Aging, Accelerated Nursing, and RN to BS programs are not eligible for the Northeast Regional Student Program. Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to qualify. Students must be an established resident of Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Vermont to quality. New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania students enrolled prior to fall 2025 do not qualify for the tuition break.
