Information about student loan programs is available through Student Financial Services (SFS), the public service FinAid website or the External Funding Sources section of the MBA website.
You should plan for increases in tuition and fees for each year of enrollment. However, Pre-Term costs apply only to the first year of the program.
If you are married and/or have dependents, you may face higher costs. Students with extenuating circumstances can request a budget reevaluation to borrow funds above the set student budget once the fall semester has started. Budget increases can only be approved for purposes and amounts that fall within guidelines set by the University and federal law.
International Opportunities
Global business concepts are explored across the MBA curriculum. You can select from a wide range of options for international study and work experiences.
If you are planning to participate in a Global Trek, please be aware that your Wharton MBA Student Budget may only be increased for educational related trips, such as Wharton’s Global Immersion Program.

Note: You are encouraged to commit yourself to full-time study during the academic year as the curriculum is rigorous and challenging. Additional funding such as teaching and research assistantships may be offered directly through faculty members once you are enrolled.
