Tuition for the online GBA program, which requires 36 credits to graduate, is $2,320 per credit for the 2022–23 academic year. The total tuition for the program is approximately $83,520 at the current tuition rate.

This tuition rate is subject to approval by the Trustees of Tufts University. The 2022–23 academic year encompasses the following terms: summer 2022, fall 2022, and spring 2023. Students may take a part-time (two three-credit courses per term) or full-time (three three-credit courses per term) course load.

In addition to tuition costs, you will be charged an immersion fee of approximately $500 for on-campus immersions and up to $1,500 for international immersions, which includes programming and some meals. You are responsible for covering transportation to and from immersion locations, in addition to lodging, meals, and local transportation while in attendance. You are also responsible for the costs of your own textbooks and other course materials.

Please note that tuition is subject to change and moderate increases are to be expected each academic year. Additionally, immersion fees vary by year and location.

In order to confirm their place in the program, admitted candidates must pay a nonrefundable $500 deposit that will be applied toward tuition.

Earning a degree online while working allows you to apply your new skills in real time. As a result, many employers are willing to support continuing education. Reach out to your human resources department to see what kind of support your company offers. An admissions counselor can also advise you on the most effective ways to approach this conversation.

Service members, spouses, and dependents may be eligible to apply for military education benefits. Visit the US Department of Veterans Affairs Web site for information.
