Tuition & Financing
Tuition for the AMBA program is approximately 60% of the MBA tuition, or $44,000 for entry in July 2012.
AMBA students are also eligible for the Ivey MBA Canadian Bank Loan Program in partnership with major Canadian banks including BMO Bank of Montreal, Scotiabank, Royal Bank, and TD Canada Trust. Find out more about financing your AMBA.
*The GMAT is not required for HBA graduates who graduated with distinction (80%+ average over HBA 1 and HBA 2 combined). For students who did not graduate with distinction, the GMAT is required for admission.
**Ivey's Admissions office will contact UWO directly to obtain transcripts so you are not required to order them.
