Specific to the MBA Program:

Noted Provision

The Graduate Tuition Benefits for the MBA program will initially be limited to four eligible employees matriculated in the program at any given time, and availability of this benefit will be based on seniority at the time of initial application for the Graduate Tuition Benefit. Once the Graduate Tuition Benefit is offered to an employee, he/she will continue to receive the benefit provided he/she continues to meet the requirements for the benefit. The College may opt to enlarge the number of employees who will be offered Graduate Tuition Benefits for the MBA program. This limitation on tuition benefits for the MBA program may be adjusted in future years with one year notification to employees.
