Online MBA tuition
At $659 per credit and three credits per course, SNHU's 10-course MBA programs cost a total of $19,770 (before any additional savings). That's less than a third of the cited average cost of an MBA program ($60,410), according to the Education Data Initiative.1
Note: If your bachelor's degree isn't in business or a related field, you may have to complete 1 or 2 foundation courses, which you can use as electives in the general track. If foundations are required and you choose a concentration, you'll take 11 or 12 courses instead of 10.

How we estimate your tuition cost:
We look at the cost per credit multiplied by the number of credits you need to earn for an MBA degree. For this degree, SNHU allows you to transfer in up to 6 credits, requiring a minimum of 24 credits to be taken at SNHU. This is only a tuition estimator and doesn't account for other fees that may be associated with your program of choice.
Personalize your financial plan
Everyone's financial picture is a little different. That's why our team is here to help customize a plan based on your unique financial needs. Together, we'll explore:
- Grants and scholarships. Private grants and scholarships, some of which are specific to business students, can be an excellent way to drive down MBA costs.
- Employer benefits. Did you know your employer may pay for some (or all) of your degree? We'll work with you to learn more about your options.
- Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is a free and easy way to help reduce current expenses and determine your eligibility for grants and repayable loans.
- Military tuition discounts. If you’re an active duty service member — or the spouse of active military — you may qualify for tuition discounts, too.
Low tuition. High value.
Let's be honest: A low cost MBA means nothing without the quality to back it up. Fortunately, SNHU is committed to both.
