The International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP) is introducing Transparent Tuition, part of its commitment to providing its students with accessible, groundbreaking graduate education.

“We at the IIRP believe that, as an adult learning institution created for the 21st Century, we must put the needs of students at the center of everything we do,” says IIRP President John W. Bailie, Ph.D. “What we teach must be immediately relevant and useful. When and how we teach must be built around the active and diverse lives of our students. And importantly, the finances of advanced education should be transparent, easy to understand and affordable, without more interest-laden debt.”

Transparent Tuition guarantees students that their tuition will never increase. It also eliminates all fees for course registration, graduation and transcripts. Students don’t need to apply for financial aid every term, as they do at most higher education institutions. And there are no burdensome loan programs.

Instead, the IIRP provides a zero-interest payment plan at a low monthly rate: the same simple, affordable plan for everyone. Students know exactly what their education will cost, so they’re able to plan ahead.

Learning is focused on real-life challenges and projects. Most students in both the master of science and rraduate certificate programs remain in their current job roles while they study.

IIRP courses are blended, asynchronous and online, so students can participate from anywhere in the world.
