The lunar phase or phase of the Moon is the shape of the directly sunlit portion of the Moon as viewed from Earth.

This year, Stanford is telling applicants that the estimated cost of its two-year, full-time MBA program is a whopping $185,054, a new record. That is some $18,242 more than Stanford said it would cost an MBA student only two years ago, when Columbia was the school with the most expensive MBA program in the world. At that time, Columbia estimated that the cost to attend its MBA program was $168,307, while third-place Stanfordâs price tag was $166,812.

Harvard Business School, Stanfordâs No. 1 rival, now costs over $20,000 less in estimated charges, even though it is in pricey Boston.
