How to read the fees: "Full programme tuition" is what Miva shows for paying the whole programme at once. For some programmes, paying per semester adds up to more (for example, 4 MBA semesters at ₦320,000 is ₦1,280,000), and for others the per-semester total is lower, so compare both before you choose. Miva's pages also mention monthly instalments for the MBA, MPH and MIT.
Miva doctoral programmes
| Programme | Duration | Fees |
|---|---|---|
| Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) | 6 semesters | ₦8,700,000 full programme, or ₦1,650,000 per semester |
| Doctor of Public Health (DPH) | See Miva's programme page | |
| Doctor of Public Administration (DPA) | See Miva's programme page | |
