Budget
Recognizing that attending Columbia Business School is a significant investment of time and money, we strive to provide our students with various means to finance the degree. The budget provided is based on a moderate student lifestyle and represents the maximum amount of financial aid possible for the current academic year. The budget is determined by the cost of tuition.* EMBA students are also able to borrow for living expenses, but since most are working, we encourage students to borrow conservatively for this amount, if at all. If you have extenuating circumstances, please review our Budget Appeal Process and contact the Financial Aid Office.
Tuition Charges
*Your tuition charge includes the cost of books and course materials each term. As a federal aid recipient, you reserve the right to exclude this cost from coverage under your Title IV funds. If you choose to exercise this right, please be advised that you will be responsible for the total cost of all books and course materials through other funding means. Please consult the financial aid office for additional information.
