In addition, you can transfer up to nine credit hours (three courses) of graduate work from other universities, subject to approval. The program has been designed to emphasize ease of use, flexibility, and contact with your professor and fellow students while retaining the long-established integrity of graduate education.

The program is tailored for teachers who desire a Master's degree or have continuing education requirements to fulfill. You can complete your degree or take a single course.

Tuition Rates:

Graduate tuition for online courses through Ball State University's School of Extended Education has been less than on-campus tuition. The following rates were set by the BSU Board of Trustees.

Spring 2009:

• In-state (Indiana Residents): $246 / credit ($738 for a 3-credit course)
• Out-of-state: $428/credit ($1284 for a 3-credit course)

Summer 2009:

• In-state (Indiana Residents): $256 / credit ($768 for a 3-credit course)
• Out-of-state: $454/credit ($1362 for a 3-credit course)

There is also a one-time $35 admission fee for US residents (or $40 for those applying as International Students.)

New tuition rates beginning in Fall 2009 will likely be determined by the BSU Board of Trustees at their April 2009 meeting.

Out-of-state tuition is higher because Ball State receives partial state funding for each Indiana resident taking a course. For more information, see www.bsu.edu/distance/tuition/.
