Exchange Tuition (MBA)
Students participating on an official exchange program remain enrolled at the University of Alberta and pay tuition and fees at home, instead of to the host institution. The following is a breakdown of expected tuition fees for a spring/summer (3 credit) or semester (12 credit) exchange compared to the MBA tuition and fees in classes at the UofA for domestic and international MBA students. This is estimated based on rates from Summer 2023 & Fall 2023 for a student admitted in Fall 2022 or later* and includes the GSA Health & Dental plan. This can of course be opted out of, but can also be extended and used as travel health coverage for an exchange program.
