Course Costs

While Miami University's Choose Ohio First (COF) Scholarship is no longer available as a form of financial support for ISP students, possible summer funding through the Ohio TEAM scholarship may still apply. Second year tuition waivers may range from 33% to as much as 50%. Web-based courses do not qualify for TEAM scholarship coverage; however Miami University offers a reduced course cost for both field- and web-based classes, representing an approximately 75% discount when compared to the cost of traditional classroom-based coursework.
