Introduction to the Catalog

How to Use the Catalog

The

2016-17 Regional Student Program Graduate Catalog is

a comprehensive guide to the New England Board of Higher

Education’s Tuition Break, the New England Regional Student

Program (RSP).

The catalog explains eligibility for master’s and doctoral degrees, as

well as CAGS and Education Specialist programs for the residents of

all six New England states.

State abbreviations (CT, ME, MA, NH, RI, VT) indicate the states

whose residents are eligible for a program.

The programs are listed by area of study, such as Business or

Engineering.

The areas of study correspond to categories used by the Classification

of Instructional Programs (CIP), established by the U.S. Department

of Education. For information about CIP, please visit http://ies.

ed.gov/.

The catalog also features a list of programs offered by each individual

participating college or university.

An overview of the Regional Student Program, Tuition Break, appears

on page 3 and answers to Frequently Asked Questions on page 4.

This catalog is published online only at www.nebhe.org/tuitionbreak.

NEBHE’s website also features a searchable program database, the

2016-17 Regional Student Program Undergraduate Catalog and

state-specific brochures featuring alphabetical lists of bachelor’s degree

programs.

Regional Student Program Tuition Break 2016-17 Graduate Catalog

3 Tuition Break, the New England Regional Student Program

T

he New England Board of Higher Education’s Tuition Break

program, the New England Regional Student Program

(RSP), provides a discount on tuition to New England

residents, when they enroll in approved degree programs at

out-of-state public colleges and universities in Connecticut, Maine,

Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. New

England’s 80 public colleges and universities participate in the RSP

Tuition Break program.

Information on all approved degree programs – undergraduate and

graduate – is available at www.nebhe.org/tuitionbreak under the

“Find a Program.”

The 2016-17 annual graduate catalog is a comprehensive list of the

250+ graduate degree programs offered through NEBHE’s Tuition

Break program and explains eligibility for residents of all six New

England states.

Residents of a particular New England state are eligible for an

approved major at one or more specific out-of-state New England

public colleges or universities – when that program is not offered by

any home-state public institution. Students apply for RSP status on

the institution’s application form; no separate application is required.

The institution notifies applicants who are accepted for admission

whether they have been granted RSP status.

The approved majors do not necessarily include every program for

which residents might expect to be RSP eligible. Participating colleges

and universities may decide against offering certain programs, such as

those which are highly competitive.

Shared Resources

The RSP enables the six New England states to expand educational

opportunities for their residents, while avoiding duplication of costly

academic programs. Since it was established by NEBHE in 1957, the

RSP has provided New England residents with savings on more than

270,000 annual tuition bills. The RSP has at the same time helped

individual New England states avoid spending billions of dollars in

capital and operating expenditures for academic programs already

offered in other New England states.

Significant Discount

In academic year 2014-15, more than 9,200 New England students

were enrolled through the RSP Tuition Break and saved $56.5 million

on their annual tuition bills. Participating students enrolled on a

full-time basis each saved an average of $7,400 on their 2014-15 annual

tuition bills.

The RSP tuition rate reflects a significant break on an institution’s

out-of-state tuition rate. Public colleges charge out-of-state tuition to

students who permanently reside in other states and in-state tuition

to students who permanently reside in the state where the college is

located. Tuition rates for all participating colleges and universities are

posted online at www.nebhe.org/tuitionbreak.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Regional Student Program (RSP)

Tuition Break for New England only?

Yes. The program is only for permanent residents of the six New

England states–Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,

Rhode Island and Vermont–who enroll in academic programs offered

under the RSP by out-of-state public colleges and universities within

New England.

How does a student qualify for the RSP?

As a permanent resident of a New England state, a student is eligible

for the RSP when enrolled in an approved degree program offered

by a specific public college or university in another New England

state. Information on approved programs (associate, bachelor’s and

graduate) is available under “Find a Program” at www.nebhe.org/

tuitionbreak. Note: The approved graduate programs are also listed in

this catalog.

At certain colleges or universities, students may petition for eligibility

for graduate programs (Policy 3 B2 a), or when the out-of-state college

is closer to home than the in-state college(s) offering the same program

(Policy 3 B3). Refer to the Policies on page 35 or the “Eligibility” page

at www.nebhe.org/tuitionbreak.

How does a student apply for the RSP?

A student completes the college’s application for admission and

declares an approved program offered through the RSP by that

college. Some college applications include a box to check for “New

England Regional” or “RSP.” Otherwise, a student should indicate

“Applying for Regional Student Program (RSP) status.” NEBHE

does not require a separate application.

The college notifies a student of RSP status usually at the time

of acceptance to the college. Note: Some programs have special

requirements (refer to program footnotes).

How much of a discount is the RSP?

The average annual tuition savings per full-time RSP student is currently

$7,400. The RSP allows an eligible student to pay a regional rate, which

is significantly less than out-of-state tuition. The rate is based on a

percentage (up to 175 percent) of a college’s in-state rate. Current rates

are posted at www.nebhe.org/tuitionbreak under “Data and Reports.”

Can a student already enrolled at a college

declare an RSP program at that college?

Usually. An enrolled student needs to contact the registrar and/or the

college’s RSP campus representative. Refer to contact information

starting on

page 33

of this catalog.

How are degree programs approved for RSP

status?

Graduate programs are approved for RSP status on an annual basis. The

residents of a particular state become eligible for an RSP program after

a review by that state’s public colleges and universities determines that a

comparable major or concentration is not offered in-state.

Why are certain programs, which aren’t offered

in a student’s home state, not offered under the

RSP?

Sometimes a college or university decides not to offer certain

programs, such as those in high-demand, under the RSP. Also, a

few programs are not offered by any New England public college or

university (Examples: Aerospace Engineering, Physician Assistant,

Professional Golf Management).

What happens if a student changes from an

approved RSP program to one not approved?

A student will be charged the full out-of-state tuition rate from that

point forward.

What happens if a college decides to discontinue

offering a program through the RSP?

If a college withdraws an academic program from the RSP, but still

offers it, students currently enrolled through the RSP are grandfathered.

Can the RSP be used to attend a private college

or a college outside New England?

No. The RSP is only available at New England public colleges and

universities.

Is an RSP-eligible student also eligible to apply

for financial aid?

Yes. A student needs to complete the financial aid applications

required by the college(s) where applying for admission in order to

be considered for any type of financial aid (scholarships, grants, loans

and/or work-study). For general financial aid information,

Introduction to the Catalog

How to Use the Catalog

The

2016-17 Regional Student Program Graduate Catalog is

a comprehensive guide to the New England Board of Higher

Education’s Tuition Break, the New England Regional Student

Program (RSP).

The catalog explains eligibility for master’s and doctoral degrees, as

well as CAGS and Education Specialist programs for the residents of

all six New England states.

State abbreviations (CT, ME, MA, NH, RI, VT) indicate the states

whose residents are eligible for a program.

The programs are listed by area of study, such as Business or

Engineering.

The areas of study correspond to categories used by the Classification

of Instructional Programs (CIP), established by the U.S. Department

of Education. For information about CIP, please visit http://ies.

ed.gov/.

The catalog also features a list of programs offered by each individual

participating college or university.

An overview of the Regional Student Program, Tuition Break, appears

on page 3 and answers to Frequently Asked Questions on page 4.

This catalog is published online only at www.nebhe.org/tuitionbreak.

NEBHE’s website also features a searchable program database, the

2016-17 Regional Student Program Undergraduate Catalog and

state-specific brochures featuring alphabetical lists of bachelor’s degree

programs.
