The above estimated Cost of Attendance budget was finalized by the University of Michigan Regents in June 2022.  The estimated 2023 – 2024 Cost of Attendance budget will be available July 2023.

Company Sponsored Payments

While some EMBA students are sponsored in full or in part by their employers, financial sponsorship is not a requirement for admission.  Sponsored students are those students that are registered and require Student Financial Services to bill an outside sponsor for tuition and fees while they attend the University of Michigan.  Student Financial Services will process deferred third-party billing of tuition and fees to businesses, governments, agencies and organizations desiring to sponsor a student at the University of Michigan.

Multidisciplinary Action Projects (MAP)

All EMBA students will participate in MAP during their fourth semester.

There is no cost to the student for participating in MAP. On behalf of the student, the participating MAP company sponsors will cover all MAP related expenses. To account for the cost of MAP covered by the company sponsors, and as per federal regulations, this support must be reported against the student’s account. 

What this means to you and your financial aid:

For Cohort 28 EMBA students participating in MAP in Fall 2022, an estimated “MAP EMBA Placeholder” of $1,682 will show on the financial aid award. This is to record the cost covered by MAP company sponsors. All EMBA Cost of Attendance budgets are also increased by $1,682 to accommodate this placeholder, and to not impact aid/loan borrowing eligibility. Therefore, the budget increase and the corresponding placeholder cancel each other out and create an equal balance of expenses and payments against the student’s account. The MAP placeholder will not reduce, refund or disburse against the student’s account / tuition cost. 

For Cohort 27, the MAP EMBA placeholder and budget offset for Fall 2021 will be $1,602. The MAP placeholder will not reduce, refund or disburse against the student’s account / tuition cost.
