Financial Aid Overview
The following tuition, fees and living expenses are estimates to assist you with planning. Tuition and fees are finalized the summer before each
fall term. The intensity of the MBA Program and the time commitment involved preclude part-time employment during your first year of study at UNC Kenan-Flagler.

1Tuition and fees are finalized in the summer before each fall term. This is the most current and up-to-date estimate available. This information is provided to assist students in planning and in no way implies the actual charges for the upcoming academic
year. The University Cashier's Office will bill students for tuition and fees. Please note that tuition is expected to increase every academic year. For NC Residents the tuition increase will likely be between 15% and 18% each academic year until the 2016-2017 year.

3Living expense estimates are based on reasonable cost of living for the Chapel Hill area. Students whose lifestyle choices
exceed the reasonable cost of living amounts are responsible for covering those choices through resources other than financial aid. Certain allowable
expenses can be added, with documentation of the cost. These include computer purchase (up to $1,700), day care (for children under 13 only), and
commuting (for students living more than 15 miles from campus).
