Costs

Exchange Program Option Costs

An Exchange Program is a Cost Neutral option. The Eller MBA Program in partnership with The University's Office of Study Abroad and Student Exchange has established agreements with many Exchange Partner institutions around the globe to provide graduate business education to our students. Likewise, you may meet a student from one of our partners in one of your classes. All programs listed above are Exchange Programs.

Students who participate in an Exchange Program. will pay regular graduate tuition for the semester they study abroad.
 

Study Abroad Option

A Study Abroad Program is similar to an Exchange but the student pays the tution of the University they choose to attend abroad. The tuition and fees associated with Study Abroad Program Universities will often cost more than the University of Arizona. The Study Abroad Schools are Non-Exchange Partners.

If you have a scholarship from Eller please check with the Director of Admissions, Marisa Cox for detailed information.
 

Insurance

You may drop UA student health insurance for the semester, but you must acquire coverage that meets the requirements of the host institution.
 

Transferability of Credit

Up to 20% (equipvalent of 10 units) of the total credits required for the MBA can consist of approved transfer credit from our exchange partners. Any shortfall of credits experienced during the exchange semester as a result of this limitation can be covered by an independent study.
