The fee for an MBA International Off-Shore Course is broken down into two parts: course fees and tuition. All electives are worth three academic credits. Estimated course fee listed with each course description includes:
- Airfare (for the Italy, Brazil and Russia trips only)
- All accommodations (rates vary with choice of twin or single room)
- Host Institution / Program Organization Fee
- Some group meals and cultural excursions
- Miscellaneous program-related fees
Please note: tuition for a 3-credit Graduate course ('07-'08 tuition cost: $3123 .00) is not included in the course fee, and must be paid in full prior to the commencement of the program to Student Financial Services. Students receiving financial aid may be able to receive support for an elective, but this aid may only be applied toward tuition costs, not the general course fee. For more information on applying financial aid toward the cost of an MBA International Elective, please contact Student Financial Services at (781) 239-4219, fax (781) 239-5510.
