$13.5k Indiana University - online MA Political Science
#1
For those looking at public policy degrees, this is an interesting alternative.  

Indiana University is a very respectable university and the price ($13,500 out of state) of their MA Political Science is surprisingly affordable compared to their online MPA ($64,800).

According to the webpage:
"This 100 percent online program is taught by IU East, IU Bloomington, IU Kokomo, IU Northwest, IU South Bend, and IU Southeast. This consortial model allows you to take coursework from several campuses and learn from a wide range of faculty"

I guess it's a consortium of IU campuses.  If you're interested, you can email them to confirm.

The online MA Pol Sci is listed in IU Bloomington's website as part of its degree programs.   My guess is you can choose which campus to receive the degree from.

I might. Thank you ! I been looking for an IR program recently, guess I can short list this one too.

It's a real steal if it's $13.5k from the main IU campus.

I also requested the information.  The enrolment advisor says you can choose the campus, including Bloomington.  Whoever replied to you is wrong.  

I actually started the application process and the application has a choice of campus, including Bloomington.  Not sure why you don't see that in the application process.  

This is actually a very good price for an IU Bloomington degree.

That's incorrect, you can choose IU Bloomington. I opened an application to make sure and the choice of campus for the online MA Political Science includes IU Bloomington.

Here's what the portal looks like.  You have to select the IU Bloomington option.
