WGU Indiana and The Finish Line, Inc. Partner to Offer Tuition Discount News Brief - 5/11 /15 The state's online university partners with retail giant to provide higher education to employees

INDIANAPOLIS -WGU Indiana, the state's online university, has signed an agreement with The Finish Line, Inc., a leading athletic retailer, to provide tuition discounts to their team members.

Under terms of the new agreement, Finish Line Inc. employees will receive a five percent tuition discount at WGU Indiana for up to four six-month terms. The discount applies to both master's and bachelor's degree programs.

"At Finish Line, our team members maintain a standard of excellence that mirrors WGU Indiana's model," said Melissa Greenwell, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer. "We believe offering a pathway to continuing education and ongoing talent development with a quality institution will only enhance that standard."

"At WGU Indiana, we appreciate Finish Line's commitment to excellence and quality because we live by the same standards," said Allison Barber, chancellor of WGU Indiana. "This partnership is the right fit for a team of employees who are looking to further their career, and their lives."

Tuition at WGU Indiana has not increased since its inception in 2010 and is charged at a flat rate of $6,000 a year. Scholarships are also available for all four colleges. WGU Indiana's innovative, competency­based education mode measures learning rather than the time a student spends in a classroom seat. Students earn their degrees by demonstrating mastery of subject matter, completing coursework online at any time convenient to their lives. Designed to meet the needs of adult learners, competency-based education allows students to take advantage of prior learning and experience to move quickly through material they already know so they can focus on what they still need to learn.
