Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees for the WEMBA class entering in 2025 will be $238,620 or $39,770 per academic term.
The MBA Program for Executives is a full-tuition program. This means that: (a) you will pay full tuition in each semester regardless of your course load, and (b) you must pay at least six semesters’ full tuition and fees before you can graduate. Tuition will be divided into six installments. For six semesters’ tuition and fees, you are allowed a maximum of 22 CU before graduating from the MBA Program for Executives. If, with the permission of your academic advisor, you carry a course load beyond 22 CU, you will be billed a tuition surcharge. Please Note: Tuition is based on a course load of up to 22 CUs. Students with course loads under 22 CUs will not be entitled to a tuition rebate or discount. All 22 credit units must be taken before graduation.

- Executive MBA tuition

The University’s central Student Registration and Financial Services division has established an interest-free installment plan for students who prefer to spread all, or a portion of, their tuition & fees into four or five payments each semester. You can find additional information regarding the payment plan here. Please Note: Payment plans are not offered during Term 1 or Term 4, which occur during the University’s traditional Summer semesters.
Students with Financial Sponsorship
Students whose employers are paying all or a portion of their tuition are required to arrange for a Third Party Payment Contract via the Student Registration and Financial Aid office.
Financial Aid Resources
Wharton encourages you to explore your financial options to make an informed decision that best fits your needs. As an MBA is a long-term investment, most students rely on loans to cover some or all of their educational costs. Wharton does not endorse any specific lender nor receive compensation from any lender. Students typically borrow from one or several loan programs, and you have the right to select the educational loan provider of your choice. Information on loan programs and links to loan applications are available on the Student Financial Services website.
Our website also provides some details on the following subjects, which we encourage you to review:
