The master’s degree in business administration (MBA) is one of the traditional education choices for people seeking high-powered careers with a lot of earning potential. But MBAs aren’t cheap. A year of tuition at a top business school can easily exceed $50,000, and many programs last for two years.
Given that students are highly likely to have education debt from their undergraduate degrees, graduates’ student loan debt can easily reach six figures. That can create a lot of pressure to find a lucrative job, because that pricey MBA probably won’t seem as valuable if you can’t afford your student loans, fall behind on payments and damage your credit. (Keep in mind, there are income-driven repayment plans that federal student loan borrowers could use to help make loan payments more manageable. You can see how your student loans may be affecting your credit score by viewing your free credit report summary, updated every 14 days, on Credit.com. )
Still, not every MBA requires you take on an obscene amount of debt. In-state tuition is probably the most common way to get a great degree for the least amount of money, though some private and out-of-state schools are still much cheaper than, say, Columbia University, which costs $65,988 per year. Using U.S. News & World Report’s MBA rankings, we rounded up the top MBA programs you can attend for less than $15,000 in tuition each year (full-time).
