Take classes before applying
To give students the opportunity to learn more about restorative practices before committing to a graduate/postgraduate program, you may take up to four courses before applying for admission.
Easy to get started
All students must have the equivalent of at least a bachelor's degree to take courses. In addition to courses held throughout the year in Bethlehem, the IIRP and its affiliates offer symposia and events in locations around the world, which can be applied toward completion of graduate courses.
Affordable graduate education
The cost of attending the Graduate School is $587 per credit hour but substantial financial support is available through the Restorative Practices Foundation. View an estimate of the cost of attending the IIRP for a complete graduate program here.
To make graduate studies affordable, the Restorative Practices Foundation offers a variety of ways to help you:
- Contact us about a special rate for FN 500 Basic Restorative Practices.
- Scholarships: Offset the cost of study by applying for a Pay-It-Forward Scholarship.
- Low-interest loans: The IIRP’s interest rate is substantially lower than the federal loan interest rate.
When you're ready to apply
When you are ready to apply, review the admissions considerations, which include writing an essay and providing letters of reference and undergraduate transcripts. Your success in IIRP courses completed before you apply for admission may allow us to waive some of the admission requirements.
