Estimated Costs

To support involvement by a broad range of educators and conservation professionals nationally, Miami University offers significantly reduced tuition- an estimated 75% savings- for both field and web-based classes. Under the current financial model, candidates who enroll this year will save more than $12,000 (in-state)/$24,000 (out-of-state) in the total cost of the degree. AIP Master Institutions also charge individual course costs, which vary by course and by institution.
