- DBI programs have a program fee
Mostly administrative fee that is payable directly to the partner school. This would cover course material, some meals, cultural tours, etc. In case it also covers hotels, a note is added to the program fee description. - Short intensive electives are just courses
Most do not have a program fee, unless they offer a cultural program alongside. (example Argentina). - Tuition: For all programs offered, UNC Kenan-Flagler participants pay tuition for the credits earned to UNC
For FT MBA this is part of the flat tuition fee, for everyone else it is per credit for the course you choose. - VA benefits excluded for DBI programs
