This year IWU launched the Associate of Science in Public Service and Management, a degree specifically for veterans and active duty servicemembers that allows students to transfer in military credits and earn an associate degree in as few as 15 credits or five courses.

IWU also extends a preferred tuition rate to: active duty, National Guard, Reserves, retirees, veterans, spouses, surviving spouses, dependents with educational benefits, and Department of Defense employees. Undergraduate tuition is $250 per credit hour and graduate tuition is discounted by 25%. Textbook costs and fees are also either greatly reduced or eliminated.
