Campbell - ~$16.7k
Davidson - I don't think they have an MBA program
Wake - $76.2k
ECU - looks like about $6K? That seems REALLY low and it is an online-only MBA

There are several others which are too far, too small, etc. (Pfeiffer, Queens College, Meridith, etc.)

For all those talking costs, I'd be interested to know how long it would take you to earn the difference between one of the lower priced options as compared to the highest. For example, if you go to UNC or Duke and it means you earn $10k/year more on average than someone who went to NCSU, how many years will it take you to "make up" the extra tuition dollars? Will it be worth it?

There 's a research article to answer that.

There are also local programs at NC Central University and Fayetteville State University (both UNC system schools). The ECU program is far more than $6K. Fayetteville State also has a distance education program.

As someone else mentioned, a lot in choosing depends on what you're goal is. If you're going to move up in the same company, you can likely choose any of the options and can look at what is most cost effective. If you're looking to change careers or advance your career with another company or organization then UNC or Duke are the best options if you can afford them.
