Tuition
Estimated expenses for the 2009-2010 academic year are given below. For added curriculum flexibility, the Broad MBA program offers a block tuition structure. As an MBA student, you may register for up to 17 credits each semester without incurring additional cost*, which gives you the option to pursue various business electives or electives in other fields of interest.
For budgeting purposes, you may find actual expenses may differ from the amounts given and be higher or lower, depending on your lifestyle choices. For instance, housing costs would differ for on-campus graduate housing versus an off-campus shared apartment.
