*Note: Tuition rates may increase for fall 2010. Many of these figures are estimates and reflect a wide range. Each student's situation is unique. In addition to these start-up expenses potential expenses to consider are moving expenses, rent deposit, costs of decorating an apartment, utilities (electricity, gas and water) telephone, entertainment and subscriptions to business periodicals or newspapers.
How you finance your MBA is a big part of your decision-making process. You need to arrange for financing your education early in the application process. The length of time needed to secure your financing will vary depending on the type of financial aid you are pursuing. All admitted applicants are automatically considered for merit-based MBA Program funded Assistantships/Fellowships. However, you should approach the process as if you will not receive merit-based funding. (Typical Graduate Assistantships will only cover tuition waivers in the amount of $3,413/semester in-state and $10,311/semester out-of-state.) The deadline for this is February 1.

** Will not qualify for federal financial aid.

*** Covered by federal financial aid when proper documentation is presented.

The Financial Aid Office only processes need-based funding for United States Citizens. Excellent resources on additional educational funding may be found in libraries or bookstores. These resources address loans, grants, fellowships, and other options. Additionally, university-wide-merit-based scholarships may be obtained through The Graduate School.
