Question

past 1 year. I've gone through the college website. What is the actual cost(tuition+housing) that an international student has to incur per year at Chicago's LGSB?

what sort of jobs do graduates take up during study?

Except for the application form, does one have to fill separate form for scholarship?

Are all scholarships merit based?

Answer 1

Total cost of your study = Tuition + Living + Pocket + Insurances + Books/Stationeries etc. Living cost = Housing + Food

Normally MBA Students do take or allowed to work in the campus - Dormitory Cleaning, Helping in Kitchen and teaching/lab assistance.

Separate Applications has to be submitted as early as possible for consideration of scholarship.

All scholarships for International Students are on merit based.
