MBA Student Debt

MBA education debt is driven by rising tuition. In the last 20 years, the median private MBA school tuition and fees has increased by 50%, while the public MBA school tuition and fees increased by 133% over the same time period. The upward costs of MBA Education Debt and Tuition are both rising faster than inflation. Below are some additional statistics on MBA students and their debt”

  • $130,571 - According to the Association of American MBA Colleges, this number reflect the average educational debt of indebted graduates of the class of 2006 (including pre-med borrowing).
  • 8.5% increase in debt over 2006.
  • 72% of graduates have debt of at least $100,000
  • 86.6% of graduating MBA students carry outstanding loans

Other sources of MBA education debt not related to tuition include:

  • Interest accrued on loans over time
  • Students now entering MBA school with more education debt from undergraduate education
  • Increasing numbers of "non-traditional" students who have children to support

Debt Crisis Harms Both Students and Patients

The increase in debt takes its toll not only on MBA students, but on the entire health care system. Some of correlations found include:

    Decrease in primary care physicians

    • Students with high debt are less likely to pursue family practice and primary care specialties. They typically seek specialties with higher income or more leisure time.

    Decreased diversity of physician workforce

    • The cost of tuition can prevent students from low-income/minority and those with other financial responsibilities from attending MBA school
    • Physician diversity is necessary to address the needs of heterogeneous, multicultural patient populations

    Promoting unsafe physician behaviors

    • Residents with high debt are more likely to have fatigue and stress

    Increases fatigue and may contribute to MBA errors

    • Increasing debt leads to more cynicism and depression among residents

Student Loan Consolidation

Being a health professional or having a MBA degree certainly carries its rewards, and managing the flexibility of your payments should be considered by consolidating your student loans.

By consolidating your student loans or refinancing your educational debt you can lift the burden of high monthly payments while you work your way to a more comfortable future. Besides being simple to do, your repayment terms can be up to 30 years instead of 10, a single payment with a low fixed rate, no out-of-pocket costs and no prepayment penalties.
