How employer partnerships work
APU Global partners with employers, agencies, and associations to make degrees more affordable for their people. Partnership benefits are verified once at enrollment and then applied automatically, employees do not need to renegotiate anything term to term.
Why organizations partner with us
Employers use education benefits to retain and develop staff. Because APU Global is fully online and asynchronous, employees can study without schedule conflicts, and because terms are eight weeks long, progress is visible quickly.

Before you enroll
What partner employees should do first
- 01
Before enrolling, request a free transcript evaluation. Most partner employees have earned credit somewhere, previous coursework, employer training, military service, or professional certification, and applying it is the single largest reduction in both time and cost. Evaluation is free and carries no obligation.
- 02
Then confirm your employer's tuition assistance policy. A partner discount stacks with employer reimbursement and federal aid, and in some cases the combination covers most of the remaining balance. Advisors are used to working through these combinations. Estimate your cost with the tuition calculator.
