Once admitted, PMBA students will be asked to remit a non-refundable $1,000 seat deposit which guarantees their place in the class. The deposit is credited toward the first tuition bill.
Certain courses, such as the study abroad course "Exploring Global Business," may require additional fees/expenses for items such as travel and lodging.
