Deposit

After a student is accepted, a $5,300 deposit is required to issue an I-20 and to reserve a space at MBA. This deposit will be deducted from the overall tuition and fees. When the deposit is received, the I-20 will be immediately issued and delivered to the student. Once a student visa has been obtained, the remaining balance to retain the student’s space will be due within two weeks. If the visa is denied, MBA will refund 50% of the deposit.

Our Admission Committee will review refunds and consider special circumstance and exceptions for denied visas.
