Leadership in Higher Education: 2019-20 Costs

The 42 credit hour program for full-time students has a comprehensive cost (tuition and books) of $30,000 for the entire two-year program.
Full-time LHE students receive a $10,000 stipend yearly (or $20,000 for the two-year program). As an earned income, the stipend is taxed. Many students choose to apply the stipend directly to their tuition, thereby reducing their program cost significantly.
LHE partnership tuition for part-time students: $545 per credit hour (for part-time LHE students who are employed by a partnership college or university)
LHE non-partnership tuition for part-time students: $742 per credit hour.

Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans: Qualifying students can borrow up to $20,500 in Direct Student loans per academic year. Students must apply through the FAFSA annually. To qualify for a loan, you must be enrolled at least half time: for first time MAEd students, this equates to at least three credit hours per term. View more information on federal direct student loans.
Federal Graduate and Professional Student Plus Loans: In addition to federal direct student loans, first time MAEd students may also be eligible for the Federal Graduate and Professional Student PLUS Loan Program. Students must apply through the FAFSA annually and have non-adverse credit.
Private Education Loans: Private education loans are a financing option for teachers who choose to not utilize federal loans or do not qualify for the federal loans due to already having earned a master's degree related to K-12 education. The FAFSA is not required to pursue these loans, but a credit check is typically required. Due to the wide-variety of private education loan offerings it is advised that you should compare multiple lenders prior to making your decision. To assist with this process, Baldwin Wallace offers resources and online comparison tools for selecting and applying for a private education loan.
