Tuition and Financial Aid
Attending Columbia Business School represents a major investment. Although an MBA is an investment in one’s future with a superb cost-benefit ratio, it is an investment that must be planned for carefully. A student is expected to contribute a portion of his or her income and assets to meet the costs of graduate business study and to borrow no more funds than necessary.
Financial aid in the form of student loans may assist with the cost of the program if you are self-sponsored or partially sponsored. Two types of loans are available: federal (Stafford Loan and Graduate PLUS Loan) and private.
The loan information listed in this section is based on an EMBA student’s full-time enrollment in a 12-credit, five-semester term. For example, if eligible, a student with limited or no corporate financial sponsorship would be able to receive the equivalent of three Stafford Loans, totaling $61,500 in financing over the course of the program. To cover the difference, a student may borrow additional funds through either the federal Graduate PLUS Loan or a private loan.
