The average tuition for the top consulting-focused MBA programs ranges between $160,000 and $180,000 per year. Those MBA programs that place a high number of students into consulting roles often come with premium tuition fees.
At Wharton, the total cost for one year is around $92,640, and for the full program (2 years), it goes over $132,000. The school reports that 27% of its graduates go into consulting, with firms like McKinsey and BCG actively recruiting from campus.
INSEAD, which has one of the highest consulting placements globally (nearly 48% of grads), charges around €103,500 for its one-year MBA program. The return is strong due to quick placement and high starting salaries in consulting.
London Business School lists its 15–21 month MBA program at around £119,950, and consulting is one of the top three industries for its graduates. Chicago Booth and Kellogg also fall in the range of $110,000 to $120,000 for two years, and both place over 30% of their MBAs into consulting jobs.
So while the costs are high, these schools give you strong consulting career support, top recruiter access, and high post-MBA salaries making them worth the investment for the right candidate.
