Program Costs

Investing In Your Future

Tuition at the Merage School is all-inclusive. The cost is the same for all students: California residents, U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens. The total cost for the HCEMBA Program is: $89,500* or $11,875 per individual quarter

There are eight quarters total. Tuition includes all of the following:

  • Registration
  • Textbooks and materials
  • Course software
  • Parking
  • Lodging during all three residentials
  • Meals while on campus

Tuition is paid on a quarterly basis, and does not include airfare for the Washington D.C. residential. A $1,000 nonrefundable deposit confirms your intent to register, and is due upon notification of acceptance into the program.

Once you begin the HCEMBA program, tuition fees are locked for the duration of the program and do not increase.

The Merage School also offers a $1,000 tuition credit if you purchase a recommended laptop offered by our MBA Computing Services Center. Several options are available each fall.
