Starbucks is partnering with Arizona State University to provide a free—or sharply discounted—undergraduate education for its workers through the university’s online program, the coffee retail giant announced Sunday night.
That means an easy online path to a bachelor’s degree for many of Starbucks’ 135,000 U.S. baristas who work 20 or more hours a week. Students entering as freshmen or sophomores will pay a “greatly reduced tuition,” The Associated Press reports, while juniors and seniors will have their tuition entirely covered.
