Health Insurance and related programs at Berklee
As students and parents plan ahead for enrolling at Berklee for one of our upcoming semesters (students can enter in January, May or September), one of the most common questions they have is about health insurance and other services. Berklee has an excellent health insurance program which serves both domestic and international students. It also includes benefits related to dental and eyecare. A complete website with all the pertinent information was recently created - check it out here.
