Disclosure:
- DBI Program Fee. Administrative Fee payable directly to the partner school. This could be for course material, some meals, cultural tours, etc. In case it also covers hotels, a note is added to the program fee description.
- Tuition: Under the Exchange Program agreements tuition to partner schools are waived. UNC Kenan-Flagler participants pay tuition for the credits earned to UNC. For FT MBA, EMBA and MAC students this is part of their flat tuition fee, for everyone else it is per credit for the course you choose.
- Short intensive electives: Most do not have a program fee, unless they offer a cultural program alongside (example Argentina).
