I’m currently enrolled in a residential MPA program in the Midwest. You can transfer in up to 9 credits. The program director appears fairly flexible in accepting coursework from related fields (e.g., Sociology, Criminal Justice, Business).
Like many graduate programs, this one offers minimal scholarship funding — which I expected. While the per-credit cost isn’t outrageous, it’s also not the most affordable. I’m looking for recommendations on where I could earn some Public Administration or closely related graduate credits at a lower cost to transfer in. Ideally, I would like to take courses as a non-degree-seeking student to avoid a full application process, if that’s even an option. Thanks in advance.
