Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Russell Sage College Workforce Development Agreement
Through the Russell Sage College Workforce Development Partnership, Russell Sage College offers a 10% discount and waived application fees to eligible Commonwealth of Pennsylvania employees and their dependents for designated online graduate degree programs.
This agreement started because faculty at Russell Sage have worked with the Commonwealth on community corrections training in the past, and Russell Sage offers the only online master’s degree program in the country focused on community corrections. To provide the most benefit to Commonwealth employees, the agreement was expanded to cover other online Russell Sage graduate programs.
Eligibility Requirements
How much is the tuition discount?
Tuition varies by program, but ranges from $603 to $724 per credit after the 10% discount is applied.
