Ok, so obviously you have to pay for your MBA, regardless of whether you are a student at Questrom or anywhere else. Most full-time students take loans when going to business school, but part-time students have some additional options. Aside from taking loans, they can work for BU or another employer that pays for all or part of their tuition, for instance. And many Questrom students take that route. If you choose to pay for your MBA out of pocket, you have to be very smart and organized with your money. Here are some tips based on what has helped me pay for school out of pocket.
Questrom School of Business
Class in Warm and Sunny California? YES, PLEASE
Boston University offers field seminars that allow Questrom students to travel around the world for 1-2 weeks to business in a variety of industries. There are a variety of locations to choose from, including Asia, India, Latin America, Europe, and Silicon Valley. These field seminars are essentially 3-credit elective courses, similar to intensives. There is an additional cost to cover housing and accommodations and students are responsible for airfare and incidentals. If you are interested, be sure to keep your eye out for emails disclosing when info sessions are and when applications are being accepted. (Upcoming info sessions listed at the end of this post.) They are first come, first served, so be sure to apply early if you want to guarantee your spot in the program.
