Can I deduct 30k tuition for a part-time MBA? I am a Marketing Coordinator, and have been with the company for 3 years working full-time while getting the PMBA.

I graduated in Dec 2016.  My employer did not pay nor did it required the MBA. It was my decision to improve my skills. It took 2 years to finish the program (afternoon classes). I am still working in the marketing department in the same company, so it did not qualify me for a new trade or business, it is not the minimal educational requirements of my trade or business.
