Important Notes for International Students
In line with MSU policy, international students are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). To waive this coverage and associated fees, you’ll need to provide proof of comparable insurance that meets university criteria. Additionally, there’s a $75 student fee each semester.
Other Fees:
In addition to tuition, the University charges a $25 invoice processing fee for sponsored students if their employer does not cover this fee.
*Expected tuition for the Class of 2028. The MSU Board of Trustees will approve tuition in August 2026.
Payment
All admitted students are required to pay the non-refundable enrollment deposit to reserve their seat in the EMBA program. This enrollment deposit is applied to the first tuition payment. Tuition is billed in five equal installments at the beginning of every semester.
When I began my Executive MBA at Michigan State University, I knew what all of my commitments would be. The program is all inclusive. Books, class materials, course registration and even meals are all taken care of. All you have to do is show up and learn.
