Can I get a student loan for an online MBA?

Yes. Lenders like ELFI and SoFi fund online MBA programs at accredited schools. Since every program on MBA Compass is from an accredited school, financing is widely available.

What is student loan refinancing?

Refinancing replaces your existing student loan(s) with a new one — ideally at a lower rate or payment. It's popular once your credit or income has improved after graduation. Note: refinancing federal loans into a private loan means giving up federal protections.

Are there special loan rates for doctors and dentists?

Yes. Some lenders, including SoFi, offer dedicated refinancing for medical and dental professionals, often with terms designed around residency and strong long-term earning potential. Choose "Doctor / dentist" above to see those options.

What's the difference between fixed and variable APR?

A fixed APR never changes — your payment stays the same. A variable APR can rise or fall with the market; it often starts lower but carries more risk over a long term.

Does checking my rate hurt my credit score?

Most lenders let you check an estimated rate with a soft credit pull, which doesn't affect your score. A hard pull only happens when you formally apply. Confirm with the lender before applying.
