  • This cost of attendance will be used as a budget that will determine the total amount of your Financial Aid eligibility.
  • Student Medical Insurance Plan* is required for all Fuqua Daytime MBA students and is charged during the fall semester.  It can be waived if you have other health insurance coverage.  International students with an F-1 or J-1 visa are required to purchase this student medical insurance plan.  The cost of this medical insurance is determined by the various age ranges that are set for this plan. This medical insurance amount reflects the age range (26 thru 34) that has the average age of a Fuqua Daytime MBA student.  Please contact our Financial Aid Office if your Duke-sponsored Student Medical Insurance Plan cost is different from this amount. We will adjust your COA accordingly.  The actual cost of the Student Medical Insurance Plan is established in late spring each year.  The University Bursar’s Office provides additional information regarding student medical insurance with fall tuition statements.
  • MBA Association Fee is charged in full during the fall semester.
  • Tuition, Health Fee, Graduate Activity Fee, and Graduate Recreational Fee are charged one-half of the total each semester (Fall/Spring).
