MBA Tuition Comparisons for Philadelphia Universities Print

Tuition for the 2008-09 academic year at the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education universities increased  by only 3.5% over the previous year for Pennsylvania resident students.  This means tuition for a 3-credit MBA course is still less than $1,100 and is by far the lowest tuition rate for any MBA program in the Philadelphia area! 

In the table below we show how WCU's graduate tuition for Pennsylvania resident students stacks up against the published tuition rates at other AACSB MBA programs in the Philadelphia area.
