Executive MBA - Stephen M. Ross School of Business

An All-Inclusive, Immersive Experience

We provide a comprehensive, all-inclusive, immersive experience for EMBA students. The EMBA program integrates rigorous studies with a first-class residential experience. We believe this is the best way to foster a high-quality environment for learning, collaboration, and relationship-building among executives in the program.

In our program, you won't find hidden costs or unexpected changes to tuition. Tuition is set at the beginning of the program and will not change. Tuition for the 21-month EMBA Program that began in Fall 2012 was $131,000 for Michigan residents and $136,000 for nonresidents. Tuition for the classes entering in Fall 2013 will be announced in July 2013. See the Registrar's Office for University of Michigan residency requirements.
