Tuition Details

Full tuition information can be found on the Student Services Website.

Actual tuition will depend on several factors, including:

  • The number of credit hours taken during an academic term. 
  • When you take a course.
  • The length of time it takes to complete your degree. 

Fees

Overall fees are expected to slightly increase each year (mandated by legislature or university). A typical increase is 3 percent.

If you are a US citizen who is not a North Carolina resident, your fees will likely decrease your second year once you qualify for in-state residency.

All entering students have the option of paying a one-time $130 fee to the MBA Student Association (MBASA). The fee is used for professional and social student events and MBA student club activities.

Residency Status

Applicants to NC State typically have their initial tuition residency status determined based on responses they provide as part of their application to the MBA program. More information about residency status may be found on The Graduate School website.
