JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — State employees will get a 5 percent discount to study at Western Governors University Missouri.
The Office of Administration announced the partnership with the online, nonprofit university this week.
Tuition to WGU Missouri costs $6,000 a year for most programs. More than 50,000 full-time employees are eligible to receive the discount for as many as four half-year terms.
Gov. Jay Nixon announced last year that the state would work with Western Governors University to create a Missouri branch.
More than 1,000 students are actively enrolled in the school.
