Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business

Scheller prices like a state school and teaches like the engineering institute it belongs to. Non-residents pay about $84,000 total — less than one year at half the schools we rank — and Georgia residents pay closer to $62,000. The curriculum leans into what the campus does best: analytics, operations, supply chain, and a tech-square location surrounded by corporate innovation labs.

Atlanta does the placement work. Home to Delta, Coca-Cola, Home Depot, UPS, and a growing fintech corridor, the metro absorbs Scheller classes almost whole; the school’s 2025 employment report shows 87% of seekers with offers inside three months at a $145,000 median base. Per dollar of tuition, no program in this ranking returns more.

The quantitative and computational finance master’s, run with the math college, holds national respect on trading desks, and the MSBA shares the same engineering halo. Limits: a 110-person class, a thin coastal alumni footprint, and a culture that can feel like an engineering department that happens to grant MBAs — because it is.
