$72,000 at taxpayers expense?
Sounds like a program that could be cut.
I guarantee you that taxpayers do not pay that much for U of P degrees. They discount their tuition (or at least they used to) to a cap of $250 per credit hour for military. Plus most military people will transfer in some credits as a result of military training thus paying for less actual courses.
*I just checked U of P's website. Military tuition is still $250 per credit for a BA degree. So if a military person comes in with 0 college credits and gets a BA degree from the U of P, it costs taxpayers $30,000 for the entire degree (plus more maybe for some course fees) the military member has to pay for their own books. Certainly not the cheapest out there, but it's a far cry from $72,000.
That sounds better. What is it for a MA?
Masters degree's tuition will vary by subject. They range from $465 to $565 and all the way up to $795 for a PhD, all per credit hour.
Keep in mind to, that these are military tuition rates. For a person with no military affiliation just off the street MA tuition starts at $575 and runs up into the seven hundreds. Again, depending on degree program. Usually Education degrees are cheaper than Business degrees.
There are way more less expensive options out there for graduate degrees.
