Prior professional experience tuition savings
MPA students can receive credit for three to six hours of course work—or more, in rare cases—for prior professional experience or service in the military, Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, or Teach for America. That can translate to tuition savings of more than $3,700 for Indiana residents or $7,700 for nonresidents.
Students with significant senior level management experience in public affairs (including military service) may qualify for up to nine hours of credit for professional experience, which translates to a potential savings of more than $5,700 for Indiana residents or $11,700 for nonresidents.
