Financing Your EMBA

Executive MBA programs are expensive, and many corporate sponsors have recently lowered or eliminated the financial support they provide their employees. Some companies have no formal tuition reimbursement program and sponsor Executive MBA students on a case by case basis depending on the applicants stature, tenure, and desire by the organization to retain the individual. We recommend that the first thing you do is to discuss the tuition reimbursement process with your company and your human resources department.

The EMBA tuition for Cycle 14 which begins on September 7, 2013 is $78,000. This includes the cost of first class hotel accommodations and meals during all residencies (34 days in total), all textbook materials and software, conference phone fees, social and networking events, and graduation fees. Upon acceptance, we require a $1,000 non-refundable deposit (applied towards tuition) to hold your place in the class. In an attempt to lessen the financial impact we have spread tuition payments over two years in 10 equal payments (after the $1,000 deposit.) Each payment is due two weeks prior to the start of each 10 week module.

Besides employer reimbursement, EMBA students finance their education with special educational loans through numerous resources. The EMBA program has attempted to make the financing arrangements as seamless as possible by providing personal contacts at the university and outside financing opportunities. This includes the Federal Stafford loans. We suggest you contact Ms.Tanyia Jones in Pace's Financial Aid office, tjones2@pace.edu, Assistant Director of Financial Aid at Pace University's Financial Aid Office for more information. Please inform Ms. Jones that you are an applicant for the EMBA program.

"It was a brain-stretching, eye opening and career boosting experience that I wouldn't exchange for anything in the world. It was a wonderful adventure and not a day goes by that I don't use new knowledge I acquired during the PACE Executive MBA Program."
