*This paragraph was corrected April 15; it originally contained speculation about costs at Haas, Booth, and Kellogg that omitted key details. Here is the original wording: And what about cost? Neither Booth nor Kellogg provided data on student indebtedness to U.S. News, but Berkeley did: Average indebtedness of a part-time Haas MBA student is $79,270, with 45% carrying debt. Consider that per-credit tuition at Haas ($3,464) is less than half of either Booth ($7,344) or Kellogg ($7,273) and you have some idea of the debt picture for those students; assuming a standard credit requirement of 36 credits, the Haas degree can cost more than $120K, and a degree from one of the other two schools upward of $250K. Those are very similar to full-time MBA prices — Haas full-time MBA tuition is $68,444 per year, while Booth’s is $73,440 and Kellogg’s is $74,871. Once again, based on price tag alone it’s worth considering the value in a smaller, lesser-known program — like No. 28 University of Utah Eccles School of Business, for example, where the degree’s per-year cost is $29,400; or No. 41 University of Florida Warrington College of Business, where it’s $32,971.
