Tuition & Fees

Receive a top-ranked education at an affordable price

Value is important whether you’re studying online or on campus, and O’Neill’s reasonable tuition and financial aid options allow you to receive a top-ranked  education at an affordable price.

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.
