MBA Tuition & Costs

Recognizing that attending Columbia Business School is a significant investment of time and money, we strive to provide our students with various means to finance the degree.

The budget provided on the bottom is based on a moderate student lifestyle and represents the maximum amount of financial aid possible for the current academic year. Tuition is set by the University's Board of Trustees and is ratified in June of each year.
