Claremont Dual BA/MA - Economics or Finance in 4 years - bjcheung77 - 04-26-2021
So, a buddy was looking at FinTech and came across this college and asked me about it...
I told him to just get an affordable, easier, quicker degree than this 4 year BA/MA dual option.
The reason is the tuition is $28K/semester, 8 semesters would be $224K for the dual degree.
My suggestion to them was to do a Big 3 or CBE BSBA and then a CBE Masters instead.
It's a pretty good school, but alas, too expensive for them even with scholarships!

I live like 20 minutes away from Claremont McKenna. They’re one of the best colleges in America.

And yet still not worth $225k! I don't care how great a school is.

Cost of education is crazy. Take this $225 k and invest or open ur own business or split and do both. I guess u will get more benefit ....

I am sure very few people actually pay that full tuition, but let’s imagine you did: the school cited is roughly TWICE the cost of UC Berkeley/UCLA for tuition. Let’s imagine you went to Berkeley and finished in three years then went to Stanford’s business school for a 2-year, on campus MBA. Tuition costs, assuming no scholarships or aid (but in-state at Berkeley would be)
UC: 28 x 3 = 84
Stanford: 74 x 2 =148
Total: 232
So for, 7 grand more, you could have a Berkeley bachelors and a Stanford MBA. Not saying that is particularly wise either, but who would opt for the Claremont program? Clearly there is a market or the program wouldn’t exist, I just don’t know who that market is.
