  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation.

In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

The Millsaps EMBA Program is the best opportunity I have found for an advanced degree while maintaining a full-time job. The Faculty is unparalleled and has been more than helpful during the admissions process. The curriculum so far is fantastic: challenging, but not overwhelming.
