Program Costs

Not only is the Executive MBA a unique and quality-based program with a focus in banking and financial institutions, it is the best value for the money. The total program cost for a student over the two-year program will be $44,000* for domestic students and $60,000* for international students. First year payment of $22,000* (domestic student) or $30,000* (international student) is due by June 1 of entering year. Second payment of $22,000* (domestic student) or $30,000* (international student) is due by June 1 of second year.

The nature of the EMBA program requires purchase of goods and services prior to commencement of the program, therefore $1,000 of the EMBA program fee will be non-refundable after June 15 regardless of whether the student has paid or has not paid the full program fee.
