Budget and Tuition

The following budget provides the costs for the Wharton MBA and Wharton MBA/Lauder MA programs. The Wharton MBA budget is based on a 10-month first year academic calendar, and the Lauder budget is based on a 12-month academic calendar.

The Tuition, General Fee, and Pre-Term Fee (plus the Lauder Summer Tuition and Lauder Academic Year fee for those students) are all mandatory charges and will appear on your student billing statement. Health insurance is also a mandatory charge unless you are already covered under an equivalent policy elsewhere.

Allowances for room, board, books, supplies, and miscellaneous expenses are included in the standard budget. Please note these are based on average, reasonable costs and may not be sufficient to cover lifestyle choices. Students who budget conservatively can reduce the overall cost of the program.
