Finances

When choosing where to pursue your Executive MBA, it’s important to consider all associated costs. Beyond tuition fees, be mindful of other academic expenses you may incur during the program.

The cost of DeGroote’s EMBA program is $95,335 CAD.*

Tuition includes:

• Accommodations and most meals during in-person residency
• Course materials (mostly in digital format) and technology licenses
• On-site parking during residency
• Travel during residency

The first payment is a non-refundable $5,000 deposit, due within 10 business days from when you accept your admission offer. The remainder is due in three installments before the start of Modules 1, 2 and 3. Please see the schedule below for anticipated installment dates.

For information on how to make payments, visit McMaster’s Registrar’s Office.

International students will be required to purchase the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) if they cannot provide evidence of equivalent coverage. A person is classified as a Domestic Student if they have Canadian citizenship, landed immigrant status, permanent resident status, or dual Canadian citizenship. Find more information through McMaster University‘s Student Success Centre.

*Actual amount is calculated by McMaster Student Accounts and may vary slightly. EMBA students will also be responsible for minor ancillary fees charged by the University not included in the tuition. Exact installment payment dates will be confirmed once you are admitted to the program. Tuition does not include transportation to and from residencies (e.g. airfare to/from residencies), dinners (unless otherwise noted) or additional ancillary fees. You should budget approximately $2,500 to cover travel, some meals and miscellaneous expenses while traveling for the offsite residency.
