Many good business schools in US now charge a tuition of more than US$ 55,000 per year. So it takes at least US$ 110,000 plus another US$ 30,000 of living expenses to go through a 2-year MBA program. That's a whopping US$ 140,000, a sum out of the reach of most students without a scholarship, a student loan, or some rich parents. When good education becomes a rare commodity so few people can afford, something's very wrong with the education system. http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-business-schools/mba-rankings By the way, US$ 140,000 converted to local currency would be TW$ 4.2 million.
