Dual degree students pay a blended tuition rate for the dual program, which is shared by both schools. Students who apply and are new admits to both schools for the same academic year will pay the blended tuition rate from the start of the dual degree program. Applicants who are already a student at one school and at a later time decide to apply to the other school as a dual degree student will have a tuition adjustment applied over two subsequent semesters of their dual degree program to account for the blended tuition rate that they should have paid in their first school year.

Below is the estimated 2024-25 academic year Cost of Attendance (per dual degree program) for students starting in the 2024 Fall semester:

  JD/MBA MD/MBA MEM/MBA & MF/MBA MPP/MBA
Blended Tuition Rate 77,408 77,925* 62,081.50 66,160.50
Estimated Fees 8,151 8,001 8,001 8,101
Estimated Course Materials 644 848 644 644
Estimated Living Expenses 24,048 24,048 24,048 24,048
Estimated Total Costs (USD) 110,251 110,822 94,774.50 98,953.50

*Since students are registered only at Fuqua during the first year of the MD/MBA dual degree program, the tuition will reflect Fuqua's normal MBA tuition rate (no blended tuition rate in the first year).

Typically, student loans are initially processed at the school where the student begins their course of study. A Fuqua dual degree student is expected to enroll at the other school in their first year of the dual degree program.  Therefore, that school will process the student loan for the first year. Fuqua will then process the student loan in the year that the student is enrolled at Fuqua, which is usually the second year of the dual degree program.  (Please note that there are exceptions for the JD/MBA and MD/MBA programs.)

Each school makes scholarship decisions independently. Fuqua scholarship awards will be applied in all dual degree academic years that have a blended tuition rate charge and will only pay towards Fuqua's share of tuition. 
Also, starting the MBA program solely as a Fuqua student and then switching to a dual degree program at a later time will likely impact any Fuqua scholarship award. Please contact our Financial Aid Office about how becoming a dual degree student may impact your Fuqua scholarship.
