Hi Eunice, We're actually doing that right now with one of our system campuses. The University allows for tuition reduction for employees when seeking degrees (both first time and advanced.) However, employees in certain cities (Crookston) do not offer all the degrees that the Twin Cities campus does, and no advanced degrees. They are piloting a tuition reimbursement policy so that individuals may go to a nearby university that does offer additional degrees. If it is successful and affordable, it will likely be made available to the one other campus that also does not offer advanced degrees. There was a proposal written for this and if I'm able to distribute it, I'll send it to you directly.
