Here\u2019s a breakdown of your federal student loan options:<\/p>\n<h3>Direct Unsubsidized Loans<\/h3>\n<p>Direct Unsubsidized Loans are available to students attending graduate and professional programs, regardless of financial need. Unlike with Direct Subsidized Loans, you\u2019re responsible for all interest that accrues on unsubsidized loans \u2014 which means you could end up with a higher balance to repay.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few important points about Direct Unsubsidized Loans to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Interest rate:<\/b> <span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:3,&quot;3&quot;:0.0705}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:577,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:3,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;0.00%&quot;,&quot;3&quot;:1},&quot;9&quot;:0,&quot;12&quot;:0}\">7.05%<\/span> for graduate and professional students<\/li>\n<li><b>Loan limits:<\/b> Up to $20,500 each year ($138,500 aggregate limit between both undergraduate and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/student-loans\/graduate-student-loans\">graduate student loans<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"basic-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E2E4E6;\"><div class=\"basic-box__inside\"><b>How to apply:<\/b> You\u2019ll need to fill out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/applying-for-fafsa\/\">Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)<\/a> to apply for a Direct Unsubsidized Loan. Your school will use your FAFSA results to determine what federal loans you qualify for, as well as how much you can borrow.<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Note that you must be enrolled at least half-time at a school that participates in the Direct Loan program to potentially qualify for a Direct Unsubsidized Loan.<\/p>\n<h3>Grad PLUS Loans<\/h3>\n<p>Another federal student loan option for MBA students is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/grad-plus-loans\/\">Grad PLUS Loan<\/a>. While Direct Unsubsidized Loans come with lower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/student-loan-limits\/\">student loan limits<\/a>, you might be able to borrow up to your school\u2019s cost of attendance with Grad PLUS Loans (minus any other aid you\u2019ve received).

To be eligible for a PLUS Loan, you must be enrolled as a graduate or professional student at least part-time.<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Additionally, you\u2019ll have to undergo a credit check and you can\u2019t have an adverse credit history \u2014 such as a foreclosure, bankruptcy, repossession, or tax lien. But if you have a cosigner with good credit or are able to prove extenuating circumstances, you might still be able to qualify.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Check Out: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/no-credit-check-student-loans\/\"><b><i>How to Get a Student Loan With No Credit Check<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"mba-student-loan-calculator\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>MBA student loan calculator<\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/calculators\/student-loan-calculator\/\">student loan calculator<\/a> can be a valuable tool to help you get a clearer picture of the costs of pursuing your MBA.<\/p>\n<p>When deciding how much you need to borrow, don\u2019t forget to factor in any non-tuition costs you\u2019ll need to cover, such as room and board, books, and transportation.

If you attend part-time, you\u2019ll have a lower cost to cover each semester \u2014 but it\u2019ll also take longer to graduate.<\/li>\n<li><b>Consider tuition reimbursement or other programs.<\/b> Some employers provide partial or even full tuition reimbursement for employees who want to earn their MBA.

Your FAFSA results might also qualify you for school-based scholarships.<\/li>\n<li><b>Use private student loans to fill in the gaps.<\/b> If you\u2019ve exhausted your grant, scholarship, and federal student loan options, private student loans could help fill any financial gaps left over. Before you borrow, be sure to consider as many private lenders as you can to find the right loan for your needs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"basic-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E2E4E6;\"><div class=\"basic-box__inside\"><b>Tip:<\/b> If you\u2019re looking for MBA grants and scholarships, here are three options to help you get started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cgsm.org\/\"><b>Consortium for Graduate Study in Management Grant<\/b><\/a>: This organization has awarded $465 million in merit-based MBA fellowships since 1966.

You\u2019ll typically need good to excellent credit to qualify for a private student loan.<\/li>\n<li><b>Verifiable income:<\/b> Lenders want to see that you\u2019ll be able to afford your future loan payments. Some have specific minimum income requirements while others don\u2019t \u2014 but in either case, the lender will likely ask to see proof of income, such as pay stubs or W-2s.<\/li>\n<li><b>Low debt-to-income ratio:<\/b> Your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is the percentage you get when you divide all your monthly debt payments by your gross monthly income. You\u2019ll typically need a DTI ratio of 50% or less \u2014 though some lenders might require a lower percentage than this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"basic-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E2E4E6;\"><div class=\"basic-box__inside\"><b>Tip:<\/b> It could be difficult to qualify for a private grad school loan if you have poor or fair credit.

Even if you don\u2019t need a cosigner to qualify, having one could get you a lower interest rate than you\u2019d get on your own. Just keep in mind that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/cosigner-explained\/\">cosigner<\/a> will be equally responsible for the loan if you can\u2019t keep up with your payments.<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b><i>Check Out: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/denied-with-cosigner\/\"><b><i>What to Do If You\u2019re Denied a Student Loan With a Cosigner<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"is-an-mba-worth-it\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Is an MBA worth it?<\/h2>\n<p>An MBA may be worth your effort and money if you plan to work in business or management or if you want to start your own company. But an MBA may not be necessary if you work in other industries, unless you intend to pursue a management position or a role requiring strong leadership.<\/p>\n<h3>Average MBA student loan debt<\/h3>\n<p>While earning your MBA might provide attractive employment opportunities, it can also be expensive \u2014 the average grad school debt for an MBA is $66,300, according to data from the National Center for Education Statistics. On top of that, nearly half of MBA graduates owe $100,000 or more for their MBA, according to a 2018 Bloomberg study.<\/p>\n<p>Even with a handsome executive salary after graduation, repaying substantial student loan debt can be challenging. Consider taking steps to minimize your student loan debt while you\u2019re in school, like applying for scholarships and grants, testing out of classes, and working part-time.<\/p>\n<h3>MBA salary by school<\/h3>\n<p>The Bureau of Labor Statistics data lists the average salary for top executives in 2021 at $98,980. Similarly, the Graduate Management Admission Council projected 2021 median starting salaries for MBA graduates to be $115,000 compared to only $55,000 for graduates with new bachelor\u2019s degrees. That\u2019s a substantial increase that more than offsets the average cost of an MBA degree.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that you might earn more or less depending on your school, employer, and other factors. For example, your average starting salary may be higher if you graduate from one of the best MBA programs. Here\u2019s an idea of what you might expect to earn after graduating from a top business school or university:<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-963\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-963 table table-border-top table-rounded table-no-img-margin table-capitalized-column-titles tbody-has-connected-cells\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th colspan=\"2\" class=\"column-1\"><center><strong>Highest Graduate Earnings from Top Business Schools<\/strong><\/center><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Business school<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><strong>Average starting median salary<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Stanford Graduate School of Business<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$158,400<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">The University of Chicago Booth School of Business<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$155,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$155,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$150,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Harvard Business School<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$150,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"column-1\"><small><i>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/poetsandquants.com\/2022\/02\/08\/mba-salaries-bonuses-at-the-top-25-b-schools\/\">Poets &amp; Quants: MBA Salaries &amp; Bonuses At The Top 25 B-Schools<\/a><\/i><\/small><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h3>Best undergraduate degree for an MBA<\/h3>\n<p>While earning a business degree is the most common path for MBA applicants, it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it\u2019s the best undergraduate degree for an MBA.

To determine the best undergraduate degree for admission to an MBA program, consider the class profile of the business school you wish to attend.<\/p>\n<div class=\"basic-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E2E4E6;\"><div class=\"basic-box__inside\"><b>Tip:<\/b> Funding your education is one of the most important financial decisions you\u2019ll face. It\u2019s wise to apply for as many grants and scholarships as you can before turning to federal student loans.<\/p>\n<p>After exhausting those options, you might consider private student loans.

Still, you can take steps to help you balance your time, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Consider an accredited online MBA program.<\/b> Many MBA programs are designed specifically for working professionals with the same curriculum. If you\u2019re interested in this option, review accredited MBA programs compiled by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aacsb.edu\/accredited\">Association to Advance Collegiate School of Business<\/a>. It may be easier to create a schedule around your job if you don\u2019t have to travel to a campus for several hours of classes.<\/li>\n<li><b>Discuss your intentions with your employer.<\/b> While talking to your employer about your plans is a respectful gesture, it can also be beneficial. You can also talk with your employers about schedule flexibility. Perhaps you could work extra hours on some days in exchange for time off on other days. Many employers even offer programs to help pay tuition for their employees.<\/li>\n<li><b>Study efficiently.<\/b> When time is of the essence, every moment counts. Keep your books with you so you can study when you have an unexpected moment of free time. Study at work during your lunch hour and get tutoring when you need it. A one-hour tutoring session covering a challenging concept may save you countless hours trying to figure it out on your own.<\/li>\n<li><b>Follow a schedule.<\/b> Setting a schedule that accounts for your education is crucial to staying organized and being more efficient. Try to think about when you\u2019re the most productive and schedule time accordingly. Depending on what works best for you, you might set aside time before work to complete your coursework or wait until the evening when your kids are asleep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pursuing your MBA degree while working is challenging, but you could complete your program in roughly two years. And with your degree in hand, you could be in line for a rewarding leadership role and significant salary boost.<\/p>\n<p>If you need to finance business school with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/student-loans\">private MBA loan<\/a>, Credible can help.
