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.

If you go on a Leave of Absence (LOA) or parental leave, you can remain enrolled in Live Better U. Your program will continue, and Walmart will keep covering tuition and required books as long as you maintain eligibility. We encourage you to work with your coach through Live Better U to ensure you are staying on track.

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