Yes, as long as the education is
considered "qualifying work-related " education. This means
that the education "maintains or improves skills needed in your present
work."
If it will also qualify you for a new trade or business, it is
not considered qualifying work-related education and is not deductible. It sounds like the coursework you intend to
pursue would be considered related to your present job.
For more information on deducting education expenses, see IRS Pub. 970, Tax Benefits for
Education. The discussion of qualifying work-related education starts
on page 58. Page 71 of this publication discusses the expenses that can
be deducted.
