Help with Finances
Tuition at the University of Oregon is one of the most reasonable in the United States, and not just for Oregon residents. That’s why Forbes Magazine has rated us
highly for return on your investment. While we make our admissions decisions without reference to your financial status, you’ll still need to budget carefully for your MBA, whether it’s the two-year or the accelerated program.
Financial assistance comes in the form of fellowships, loans, and work-study jobs. About 90% of Oregon MBA students receive some kind of aid.
