Student Health Insurance
The investment in college that students and families make is too great to be without financial safeguards from an unexpected illness or injury. Numerous studies have shown that a lack of adequate health insurance coverage can seriously jeopardize a student’s academic career. As an integral part of our mission at Cornish College of the Arts, we want to ensure that students are successful in achieving their educational goals. With this in mind, Cornish College of the Arts requires all students to carry health insurance.
We have managed to secure a very competitive rate of $1,098 for the twelve month period ($91.50/Month) from August 28, 2011 to August 27, 2012. This cost will be billed in two installments of $549 each semester. We are very proud and excited to be offering this comprehensive plan to all Cornish students. This plan highlights brochure offers an overview of the benefits included in the plan. You can also see a brochure detailing Aetna’s Out of Network payment process.
