Cost of an MBA

So, I've been tracking all of my expenses for the MBA program that I'm enrolled in, from the GMAT study book I used before the GMAT test to all of the textbooks. Tuition alone is $718 per credit, so that will add up to $30, 156 for the entire program. There's a lot more to the cost of school than that, though. My first class just ended and my next one starts on Saturday. These two classes are already paid for.

So far, I've spent $4,777.40. My employer has kicked in $3,500 towards tuition, leaving me with $1,277.40 out of my pocket.
