THE REAL COST OF AN MBA

An average MBA will cost $248,000. Students who enroll in MBA programs are usually further along in
their lives and therefore more likely to be married. The job placement three months post MBA is 89.1% for
all schools.
Matthew Slaughter, dean of Tuck, says that while most graduates receive a large earnings boost after
graduating, that isnt always the case in the short term. However prospective students need to understand
that the knowledge obtained through the degree will help boost their earning power not just immediately
after graduation but throughout their careers. They may make more money after graduating with a MBA
degree and that increase will hopefully continue to compound itself, partly because of the inherent value
of the degree but more likely because I had the opportunity to study my personal strengths and
weaknesses and career interests at school as stated by Katherine Earle who graduated from Stanfords
MBA program in Spring 2016.
