• How much does it cost?

  Your education is an investment in yourself: in your future earnings, sure, but also in the opportunity to live the life you want. As Minnesota’s oldest university—founded in 1854—employers know the Hamline name and reputation for excellence. They recognize that our practical, skills-based programs prepare you to lead from day one. And you'll have peace of mind in knowing that you've chosen an institution consistently ranked as a "best value regional university" by U.S. News & World Report.

  Because our School of Business graduate programs range from targeted certificates to doctoral studies, tuition varies depending on your chosen path. To view the exact total cost, required fees, and credit requirements for your specific program, please review our tuition chart at the link below.

• How long will it take?

  Your timeline depends entirely on your professional goals and your schedule. Because our programs are built for working adults, we offer multiple pathways to completion:

  • Graduate certificates: Build immediate, targeted skills in as few as 4 months.
  • Master's degrees: Earn your master's degree in 15 to 24 months as a full-time student, depending on your program's structure.
  • Doctoral studies: Our PhD in Management and Public Service is a deep, transformative commitment designed to be completed in 48 to 60 months.
• I'm busy. Is it flexible?

  Absolutely! Our programs are designed for working adults. Many of our certificate and master's programs offer the option to attend either online, in person, or a combination of the two (hybrid), so you can choose the location and learning style that works for you. 

  You'll also have the power to control your course load. Want to dive in full-time and finish quickly? Take two classes at a time in fall, spring, and summer, and have your master's in hand in less than two years. Or maintain your work-life balance by taking just one class at a time. Either way, our advisors will help you map out a manageable path.
