Harrison College reduces tuition for several programs

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Harrison College announced Thursday its plan to reduce tuition in some programs by 10 percent.

The college serves more than 4,500 students in Indiana, Ohio, North Carolina and online. The new tuition will be enacted in the January 2013 term.

Students in nine selected programs will receive a 10-percent reduction in the cost of their tuition.

“A lot of people are expressing their concerns about the rising cost of higher education in this country, and we share that concern,” Dr. Dennis A. Trinkle, Harrison College Provost and Chief Academic Officer, said. “We decided now is the time to move past the discussion stage and take action. Harrison College was at the forefront in 2006 in instituting a Tuition Freeze program. We’re taking the lead again in 2012, going a step further by actually reducing tuition.”

The programs impacted by the 10-percent tuition reduction are:

• Business Management (B.S. Degree)
• Project Management (B.S. Degree)
• Health Informatics (B.S. Degree)
• Information Technology (B.S. Degree)
• Interactive Media Design (B.S. Degree)
• Logistics (A.S. Degree)
• Network Administration (A.A.S. Degree)
• Paralegal (A.A.S. Degree)
• Help Desk Technician (Certificate)

Trinkle said that the programs that were chosen for tuition reduction have been identified as areas that provide training for careers that will help drive the state’s economy in the coming years.
