World top MBA Programs tuition fees and costs

How much does an MBA cost ?

How often have you heard that you cannot put a price on knowledge ?  MBA graduates know that is not entirely true.

The average tuition for a two-year MBA program exceeds $60,000 and if you attend one of the top business schools, you can expect to pay as much as $100,000 or more in tuition fees and costs.

To help you choose, the MBA Guidebook has just released the ‘World top MBA Programs tuition fees and cost‘ 3D analysis.

An MBA is often seen as an investment in your future, so it is no surprise students shell out tens of thousands for the privilege.

Although costly, there’s a number of reasons why an MBA is worth it: it is widely recognized, there’s better earning potential, you can expand networking resources, it’s open for all, you can start your own venture, and learn and choose specializations to fit your needs.

Of course, it’s not just the MBA program that has students shelling out their hard-earned cash, there are other expenses too.

Before starting the course there will be some pre-MBA expenses, including taking the TOEFL (originally known as the Test of English as a Foreign Language). The TOEFL is a standardized test that measures a test-taker’s understanding of the English language to see if they’re good enough to take a course at university/graduate school in English-speaking countries.

The TOEFL costs around $170, but there may be other charges including, $35 for late registration and $20 to reinstate a cancelled score.

Whether you need to take the TOEFL or not, everyone will need to take the GMAT (or GRE) exam which measures higher-order reasoning skills; these reasoning skills involve complex judgments, critical thinking, analysis, and problem-solving. The cost to take the GMAT exam is $250 globally.

Application fees are one of the highest sources of revenue for business schools; applicants can expect to pay anything from $100 to $275 per application to each business school.

Top MBA programs like Harvard and Stanford are said to receive anything from eight to 10,000 MBA applications each year for roughly 1,800 slots. Stanford Graduate School of Business has the highest application fee of the top US business schools at $275, which means the business school could make over $2.2 million if more than 8,000 applicants apply.
