Because of the high
cost of medical care and hospitalization in the United
States, all international students are strongly
encouraged to carry health insurance for themselves and any of their dependents
joining them in the United
States.
International students at MSOE are automatically enrolled in a health
insurance plan while attending MSOE. This is to ensure that that they
are healthy while they are students, and that the student has adequate
health care coverage if they need any medical assistance while in the
United States. The cost of this insurance is automatically added to
the cost of tuition and fees. International students that have
existing health care coverage through a sponsor, or through their own
insurance carrier, must provide a letter of health insurance coverage to be exempt from this fee. Please see this example letter than can be provided as Proof of Health Insurance.
Cost for a student will range from $1,000-$1,100 annually, and cost for a
spouse $200-$300 annually. The Student Life Office will assist students with their health
insurance needs.
