The program is designed so that this status can generally be achieved in two years. Candidate tuition is reduced by 50%. After acceptance of a dissertation proposal, a Ph.D. student achieves Researcher status; Researcher tuition is reduced by 75% of original tuition.

I understand that the Ph.D. in Management is designed so that coursework and successful completion of a qualifying exam can generally be achieved in two years, and that the following budget description is for one academic year.

$17,698	minimum on-campus estimated payment to the University (per year)

$19,698	Typical amount I must bring per year (not including the cost of learning the Transcendental Meditation technique)

	I understand that I will need to submit a bank statement (or sponsor’s bank statement) as proof of funds.
	I understand that there is no additional financial support available from the University, and that I need to show proof of funds to be eligible to apply for this program.
	I understand that the cost of instruction in the Transcendental Meditation technique is not included in the program cost shown above.

Transcendental Meditation
