Weekend MBA: Investment and Value

The total investment in the program includes tuition, textbooks, classroom materials, continental breakfasts, refreshments, Friday evening buffets, and Saturday lunches. International travel expenses (airfare, hotel, and most meals) are also covered. Fees are billed in six installments – or approximately every four months. The installments are approximately equal in amount and reflect the number of credits taken in the upcoming academic period.

The program investment for the cohort entering Fall 2012 is $40,800.00. Limited financial awards are available for both local chamber of commerce members and qualified non-chamber members. As a contract program, it does not qualify for federal student loans. More information may be found here.
