What You Can Expect To Pay At A S10 School & Who You’ll Be Rubbing Elbows With

Below find charts on how much it costs to attend an S10 school. The priciest, factoring in cost of living, is NYU Stern, which after all was the first MBA program to pass the $200K line back in 2014. Now a dozen schools charge that much, including half the S10. Stern’s two-year full-time MBA experience will cost an estimated $233,022; Dartmouth Tuck is next-most expensive at $230,080, followed by UCLA Anderson at $220,112. The lowest overall cost is at Carnegie Mellon Tepper, but it’s not much lower: $187,338. Tuck has the highest tuition at more than a $150K; UC-Berkeley Haas has the lowest at $129,304. Interestingly, the S10 school with the highest proportion of graduates with six-figure debt is Duke Fuqua at 47%, followed by Tuck at 46%.

Tuck, Haas, and Stern grads report the highest median starting salary, $140,000, and Tuck, Stern, Virginia Darden, Yale SOM, and Duke report median signing bonuses of $30,000 — but Cornell reports a higher one, $35,976. In total compensation, calculated by Poets&Quants based on the percentage of graduates reporting bonuses, Tuck leads the way at $166,400, followed by Stern ($164,728), Haas ($162,147), Darden ($162,000), and Cornell ($161,730). Tepper was the lowest at $147,075.
