Tuition savings and flexible programs advance career-relevant skills
Supporting adult learners is central to the mission of University of Maryland Global Campus (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ), including those serving in the federal workforce. Through the Federal Education and Development (FED) Program, eligible federal employees, as well as their spouses and dependents, may receive up to a 25 percent tuition discount on Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ undergraduate and graduate programs.Â
“̹½ÊÓÆµ is committed to assisting federal employees with flexible, affordable programs that align with their professional responsibilities and career goals,â€� said Justin Hasty, director of strategic partnerships at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. “By supporting continued learning among federal employees, we help agencies close critical skills gaps, strengthen mission delivery, and better serve the public.â€�
Over the past 11 years, more than 5,000 learners have participated in the FED Program, benefiting from more than $12 million in cumulative tuition savings.
Like many adult learners, federal employees balance professional responsibilities with ongoing education; Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ designs its academic programs with that reality in mind. Coursework is offered online, schedules are flexible, and instruction focuses on in-demand skills learners can apply directly to their roles.Â
