The Masters of Public Health tuition fee has gone up to 322 per credit unit for the 2012 terms at University of Illinois at Springfield, which is still affordable. However, what I do not like is that there is also an online course 25 fee per hour. What’s more, admissions to this program is only twice yearly making it more difficult for students currently enrolled in a quarterly program. In addition, I do not like the three letters of recommendation requirement as part of their admission requirements. From my experience as an online student, I have found that instructors are hesitant to write recommendations to online students because they feel like they do not know them well enough. What I do like is that the Illinois Public Health Association offers three scholarships for the 2012-13 academic years for qualified graduate students in Public Health and their curriculum.
