We are not currently considering adding masters degrees to our portfolio, as very few roles within the organization require that level of education. However, some universities offer discounted tuition to Walmart associates. This includes their master’s and doctorate programs.

At this time, only programs within the Live Better U catalog are eligible for the education benefit.
