Information on your UBC Tuition
Tuition
Tuition levels for the MFRE program are consistent with other related professional masters degrees at UBC and at other Canadian and American universities, such as Masters in Economics, Masters in Agribusiness, MBA programs and Masters in Public Policy. Although the tuition levels are higher, the overall costs of completing the MFRE degree could well be lower than research degrees that require a thesis and take longer to complete.
Tuition fees for the full one-year MFRE program are as follows:
