Tuition & Financial Aid
Tuition
For MBA@UNC students starting the program in academic year 2013-2014 (July 2013 – June 2014), MBA@UNC tuition will be $1,416.67 per credit hour. Tuition is charged per credit hour; MBA@UNC is a 66 credit hour program. Students starting the program July 2013-June 2014 can expect to pay at least $93,500 for the entire program, with a moderate increase in tuition and fees expected each academic year. Students may take up to 36 months to complete the program, with most completing the program within 24 months.
MBA@UNC tuition includes student fees, simulations, assessments, texts, technology platform licensing and support and global immersions. You are required to attend two global immersions to meet core course graduation requirements, and you may earn elective course credit for two additional immersions. Immersions are worth one credit hour each and are billed at the credit hour rate in effect during the registration period for that immersion (transportation to and from the immersion location is not included in tuition).
Students who wish to attend more than four immersions may do so, however you will only receive course credit toward graduation requirements for the first four immersions you attend.
Admitted applicants will be required to submit a $1,500 non-refundable enrollment deposit to reserve a space in the class. Enrollment deposits will be applied as a credit toward the first quarter’s tuition if the student enrolls in the program.
