University of Bridgeport Slashes M.A. in Criminal Justice Cost by Half for Military and Law Enforcement Members
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (PRWEB) February 22, 2018 -- The University of Bridgeport (UB) announced today a new financial aid program that slashes tuition by 50 percent for members of the U.S. military and law-enforcement agencies who are enrolled in its Master of Arts (M.A.) in Criminal Justice and Human Security program.
UB's Commitment to Service tuition-assistance program takes effect immediately and is open to part- and full-time students.
Veterans and active members of all branches of the military, parole officers, and law enforcement personnel who live in Connecticut, New York, or New Jersey are eligible.
The new 50-percent tuition cut is “an extension of UB’s comprehensive financial aid programs,” said Executive Vice President for Enrollment Management Karissa Peckham.
As a Yellow Ribbon School, for instance, UB awards eligible veterans merit- and need-based financial aid above and beyond educational benefits offered under the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill.
Ninety-seven percent of all UB students receive some form of financial aid through grants, scholarships, work-study, and loans.
The University of Bridgeport also has been named among the most affordable schools in Connecticut in terms of low student debt, according to independent rankings published by Student Loan Report. (The report also found that average debt per UB student is less than the national average.)
