Program Value
The Weekend MBA is the value-leader among New York state executive-level MBA programs. The program investment for the cohort entering Fall 2012 is $40,800, billed in six installments (approximately every four months) equivalent to the number of credits covered in the upcoming period. This all-inclusive fee covers:
- Tuition
- Textbooks and classroom materials
- Delicious Friday evening buffets, Saturday continental breakfasts, lunches, and refreshments
- International travel expenses (airfare, hotel, and most meals)
Limited financial awards are available for both local chamber of commerce members and qualified non-chamber members. As a contract program, it qualifies for private graduate student loans, not federal student loans.
Compare this to the investment required for other EMBA programs in New York state and you’ll quickly see the financial advantage of our program:
