*Please note that although the Professional program in RTP and Online program are both classified under DELTA, the Online program is a separate program.

Based on estimated rates:

• Professional students entering in Fall 2012 on the Main Campus can expect to pay approximately $34,986-$46,076 (in-state). This is the estimated cost for the entire program.

• Full-time students entering in Fall 2012 can expect to pay at least $37,317 (in-state) for four semesters. International students can expect to pay $62,383.12 for tuition and fees. This is the estimated cost for the entire program. 

Applicants also should expect a slight increase (mandated by the legislature or university) in fees for each academic year. All tuition revenue generated through increases will be allocated to the MBA program to improve career services, provide more training in management skills, and lay the foundation for future growth in the program.

Estimated annual expenses for full-time graduate students can be found here. Please note that tuition charges for MBA students are higher than that shown on the general University estimate. MBA tuition rates can be found here. In addition, many full-time students travel to national career fairs, which are not included in tuition fees.

The fee will be used for professional and social student events and activities within the MBA student clubs.
