- Tuition, Fees, & Financial Aid
Tuition
All Graduate Programs at Valparaiso University are billed per credit hour, not at an annual tuition rate. For 2012-2013, the MBA/MEM tuition rate is $699 per credit hour (through Summer 1, 2013). This means that for the 2012-2013 Academic Year a full-time student qualifying for the 38 credit one year MBA or MEM Program would pay an estimated total of $26,562. Please note that tuition per credit hour is subject to change each year.
For the 2012-2013 Academic Year the tuition cost per credit hours is as follows:
- MBA/Business Certificate Program: $699
- MEM Program: $699
- MBA/MSN Credit 1-27: $640
- MBA/MSN > 27 Credits: $699
When a student is enrolled in a mixed course load (i.e. they are enrolled in both Law courses and MBA courses) they will pay the lesser of either the per credit hour rate for the number of credits being taken that semester in each program, or the full-time JD tuition rate for that same semester. The maximum a student taking a mixed course load will be charged is the one semester full-time JD tuition rate. A JD/MBA student enrolled in only JD courses or only MBA courses will pay the appropriate per credit hour or tuition amount for the school in which they are enrolled.
