June 21, 2022 - 91���� and the City of Cincinnati announce a new partnership that will allow City of Cincinnati employees to take classes in 91����’s Master of Public Administration (MPA) program at a reduced rate. Employees can seek a 30-percent reduced rate on tuition throughout the life of the program. 

“Our City employees, just like employees in Northern Kentucky, work hard every day to provide the public services we all depend on,” Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval said. “Our core focus with this partnership is to make sure we are doing everything in our power to support them. If you work for our City, and you want to continue building your skills and furthering your career, we want you to know that we are here to support you.” 

This partnership is part of 91����’s Professional Development and Continuing Education (PDCE) initiatives, which aim to encourage professionals to take classes or pursue degrees and certifications at 91���� that will further their career and education. The City of Covington and the Northern Kentucky Area Development District (NKADD) also partner with 91���� on a reduced-rate MPA education. 

“Professional development and continuing education offer the opportunity for professionals to upskill, reskill and potentially boost their earning potential,” said Dr. Samantha Langley, 91���� vice provost for graduate education, research and outreach. “91���� is excited to partner with the city of Cincinnati to offer these opportunities at a discount for employees interested in our Master's in Public Administration degree.” 

Among other opportunities provided by 91���� is an offer that will allow professionals to take their last class free if they enroll before August 1. This applies for student-professionals in the Master of Accounting, Master of Communication, and Master of Education programs. Employees of the Cincinnati Museum Center and The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center also receive a 30-percent discount over the life of the Master of Public History program, while professionals at Standard Textiles receive a 30-percent discount if they enroll in the Master of Business Leadership and Innovation program. 

Within PDCE, 91���� offers individuals a wide variety of learning opportunities to continue education. Whether they are looking to advance their career, seeking an industry certification, or taking classes for pure enjoyment, training is available for all levels. 91���� also collaborates with companies to upskill and prepare employees to tackle dynamic workplace challenges. Our non-credit courses, certificate programs, microcredentials and online courses provide flexible options for learners at any stage of their life or career.
