Student Handbook

With our Transparent Tuition provisions, students who are admitted to the degree or certificate program are guaranteed that their tuition will never increase throughout the completion of their program.

Students who are admitted to the Graduate Certificate program are entitled to a total tuition cost of $6,844 effective 2024-25 ($7,094 effective 2025-26), discounted 8.35% from the full tuition.

Students who are admitted to the Master of Science Degree program are entitled to a total tuition cost of $17,110 effective 2024-25 ($17,734 effective 2025-26), discounted 8.35% from the full tuition. Students who are also approved for the Thesis Option will pay $3,507 for the Thesis Research seminar.

Students who are admitted to the master’s degree program and choose mid-program to add a specialization may need to take additional courses in order to fulfill their requirements. In those instances, students will receive their existing Transparent Tuition rate for those courses. Similarly, master’s degree students who are admitted to the Thesis Option mid-program may need to take additional courses at their existing Transparent Tuition rate, in addition to paying $3,507 for the Thesis Research Seminar.

Alumni who have earned a master's degree from the IIRP and who wish to continue taking courses will receive the current discounted rate of $1,711 per course ($1,773 effective 2025-26). Alumni with an IIRP master’s degree who are approved to pursue the Thesis Option will also pay $3,507 for the thesis research seminar.

A student enrolling in their first course at the IIRP will be afforded the benefit of discounted tuition of $1,711 ($1,773 effective 2025-26) for that three-credit course.

Individuals who are not seeking a degree or certificate will pay the non-discounted rate of $1,867 per three-credit course ($1,935 effective 2025-26).

Current students admitted prior to 2024-25 pay the discounted rate in effect at the time of their admission and/or approval to pursue the Thesis Option.
