What I got for $13,250...

December 7th, 2009 at 10:12 pm

I am officially done with my MBA program. Graduation is on December 18! I am so happy to be done with this... it took me 3 long years going very part-time but I can now say that I did it and without taking out a single student loan. The total cost of just tuition (no books or anything) came out to be $11,257.68. I would guesstimate that I spent around $2,000 on books, proctor fees, etc. So, my MBA cost me around $13,250 in the end. I am not guaranteed a raise because of today's economy so my return on investment may not hit for another few years though.

    Congratulations to you! I finished graduate school before kids, and having them now, I don't think I'd be able to do both: be a mother and a student!

    Well done!

    Congratulations! I wonder if I could get my sons to read your blog - they're both college students taking the grant/loan route!

    Graduate school on no loans is an accomplishment that has to lead to some satisfaction! Congratulations. I am about 2.5 years from completing a program, myself, and it is a struggle. I hope that you are right about having some insurance of a return on investment, but I think it will all work out in the end. Way to go, and thanks for the example!
