There are many opportunities to earn a graduate or professional degree through cooperative education programs. Cooperative education gives you practical experience in a job related to your major field of study. Money paid for this degree-related job will usually cover the cost of tuition. The federal government offers many choices of jobs and academic plans. Check with your graduate or professional school to find out if it participates in this kind of program.
Other possibilities to consider include attending graduate school part time during evenings and weekends. As more and more students have been going back to school, universities have made returning easier. Part-time graduate and professional-school students are a growing population. Schools realize that they must accommodate them. Employers are also realizing the value of continuing education. Therefore, many are willing to pay all or part of their employees’ tuition for part-time graduate studies. Inquire about possible cooperative education programs and tuition reimbursement plans at your place of business.
