In our collaborative community, you’ll build the enduring multidisciplinary business foundation that will empower you to reach your goals. As a Full-Time student at Chicago Booth, your MBA tuition remains locked at the rate it was when you entered the program. We also encourage you to explore scholarships and financial aid.
The standard cost of attendance includes tuition and MBA fees, books, rent, food, personal expenses, transportation, and a computer allowance. As you develop your budget, we encourage you to account for additional costs for transformational experiences beyond the classroom, such as Random Walks, Industry Treks, student groups, and events.
