2The Academic Common Market: Established to help out-of-state students reduce the monetary investment needed for graduate studies. Under the ACM agreement, a non-resident student may pay in-state tuition, provided the institution they wish to attend is a member of the ACM and no comparable program is available within their state of legal residency. Of the member states of the ACM, some offer an International MBA program; thus, residents of those states would not be eligible for the reduced costs for out-of-state programs. This information is subject to change and it is managed by the ACM directly.
- States participating in the ACM and supporting the International MBA program at the
Moore School:
Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Virginia, West Virginia - States participating in the ACM but NOT supporting the International MBA at the Moore
School:
Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas
3The University of South Carolina/Sister-State Tuition Benefit program: Offers resident (in-state) tuition to citizens of the following countries and states:
- State of Rhineland-Palatinate/Rhineland-Pfalz - Germany
- State of Thuringen - Germany
- State of Brandenburg - Germany
- State of Queensland - Australia
- Province of Taiwan, Republic of China
Through this agreement — which is extended at will by the University of South Carolina— any International MBA candidate who is a citizen of these states would pay in-state tuition, significantly lowering the cost of the program. To qualify, applicants must be admitted to the International MBA program and must demonstrate citizenship with a valid passport.
