The decision to invest in your graduate education is an important step toward meeting your future goals. Evening MBA students typically use a combination of company-sponsored tuition support and educational loans to fund their graduate education.
Estimated Expenses
Tuition for the class enrolling in May 2025 is estimated at $59,400* for the 42 credit program, billed in six equal installments of $9,900. Tuition is not expected to change during the two-year program, though unforeseen situations may cause a tuition increase. Tuition is flat in all three part-time MBA programs – Evening, Hybrid, and Executive MBA. There is no difference in tuition for in-state and out-of-state students (all students pay the same amount).
