Ok, I admit it - I did even know Grantham U even existed.
That just goes to show that the online degree program world is growing faster than I can keep up with it 
OK so here’s the deal.
Grantham University specializes in online education for working adults, and the future is so bright that they plan to hire approximately 50 new employees at their Kansas City campus by January 2008.
The online university needs help in areas of admissions, student progress and other administrative positions.
“We are looking for people who want to be ‘life changers’ because Grantham’s mission is to change lives by offering an affordable and accessible online college education to everyone,” said Jerome Wilson, human resources director at Grantham University.
Interesting note - Grantham University had to relocate from Louisiana to Kansas City after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
In case you’re interested in working for them, here’s a great benefit; completely free tuition for its employees and spouses (or significant others). Discounted tuition is available to immediate family members.
Grantham University offers online undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Criminal Justice, Business Administration, General and Interdisciplinary Studies, Computer Science, and other technology related fields. Grantham’s online degree programs are flexible and self-paced, allowing students to complete their coursework at the times and places that fit their busy schedules.
Grantham University has 200 employees in Kansas City. For those interested in working at Grantham University, call 1.800.955.2527

Drexel University recently announced that they have created what they call an
“educational partnership” with Aqua America, which is the nation’s largest
U.S.-based, publicly-traded water company.
As a result, Aqua America employees will be able to get a special tuition rate for the
online degree or certificate program through Drexel. These employees will be able to
choose from a range of bachelor’s, master’s, and certificate programs that Drexel offers
online in areas such as business, engineering, computer science, computing technology,
and information science.
Pretty sweet deal, if you work for Aqua America
And I guess it’s a good deal for Drexel.
In case you didn’t know, Drexel is very reputable. They are ranked among the
Best National Universities in “America’s Best Colleges” by U.S. News & World Report for 2007.
Drexel is also accredited by the Middle States Association for
Colleges and Secondary Schools and its individual programs are accredited by bodies such as AACSB (Business), NLN and CCNE (Nursing), and ALA (Information Science).
And this isn’t the first such parternship, In fact, Drexel has been doing this for the
past three years with corporations, health systems, and professional associations across
the United States who are able to offer their employees special tuition rates, along the big benefit - the flexibility they need to continue working while earning a degree.
Dr. Kenneth Hartman, who is the academic director of Drexel University Online had this to
said about this newest partnership:
“A well-educated workforce is a competitive advantage for companies today. Organizations have been selecting Drexel as their preferred online education provider because they know that our programs reflect the same high standards as those on-campus, but offer the convenience busy professionals desire. We look forward to this new venture with Aqua America and in assisting them in meeting the educational needs of their workforce.”
Sounds like a growing trend to me.
Maybe you should contact the HR folks at the company you work for and sugges they look into this kind of relationship as well. It can only help both you and the company you work for in the long run…
