as a top education project of the MBA, EMBA, recently launched a new price surge. Including Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University and Shanghai Jiaotong University and other top business school, MBA tuition fees in excess of 180,000 yuan, EMBA tuition has risen to more than $ 450,000. So, so higher fees will deter studying it? What prompted the school turns to raise prices?
running funding sources less
for domestic almost each two years on will raised once MBA and EMBA tuition of causes, Shanghai Jiaotong University Antai administered College Dean zhoulin Professor in yesterday held of the homes get global three item business school authority certification of press conference Shang said, tuition of rose main and running cost about, business school of education and General University education different, General University education in funding Shang main is Government of funding, and MBA, and EMBA main is by tuition, government funding only accounted for rarely part. With foreign business schools is also different, international business school has more social donation, especially United States top business schools, most of them depend on social assistance, such as the Endowment Fund of Harvard Business School has more than 30 billion dollars, largely generated by the Fund of funds investment of running. A top business school to be competitive, first-class teachers is the key, and to recruit world-class professors, you have to cost a fortune, teachers improves, costs naturally go up.
return on investment was proportional
zhoulin said, needed to be clarified is that China's business school is not to make money for the purpose of tuition is mainly used to improve the quality of teachers and updated equipment. Also, MBA, EMBA Education, is an elite education is a "luxury", and General University for undergraduate education, Shuo Bo education community is essentially different in nature. "An international evaluation, MBA tuition fee if annual starting salary after graduation were flat, it is reasonable. "Zhoulin said that current National Chiao Tung University after graduating from business school graduates an average starting salary of $ 200,000 per year, tuition was $ 188,000, return on investment than positive, it is within the normal range. Also, into United States dollars, then domestic tuition fees, or less than $ 30,000, and foreign business schools most of the tuition fees of up to $ 100,000.
when talking about this year's enrollment, zhoulin said, due to rising tuition fees and report individual students to other schools. At present, the 2011 MBA admissions is drawing to a close, Shanghai Jiao Tong University MBA applicants this year of about 1300 people, were flat with last year, last admission candidates enhanced quality than last year, which is consistent with reform of National Chiao Tung University admission, that is, more emphasis on the candidate's work experience, desalination written examination results.
