Flexible payment plans for Mini-MBAs and Masters Certificates
For applicants planning to enrol in our Mini-MBAs or Masters Certificate programs, we offer personalized payment plans with flexible installments.
Full tuition must be received by the end of the program, which is why we advise interested applicants to speak with an advisor as early as possible for more flexible payment plan options, as it may affect the number of installments required until the end of the program.
