Tuition and Food and Housing are both required expenses for the Kellogg EMBA program.

Program costs are set in the spring for the following year. (Historically, tuition has increased 3-4% annually.) For budgeting purposes, we recommend you consider whether travel costs, loan fees or incidental expenses will apply to you. Loan fees are only for those students taking out loans and vary depending on the loan amount.

Please note: Total program costs cover accommodations, e-books and most meals for one global elective selection (two elective units). You will pay for the international travel to and from the global elective and deposits for emerging market course selections. For students taking more than one global elective, total costs will cover e-books and most meals; students will pay for accommodations, travel and deposits where applicable.
