USJ Offers Healthcare Worker Discount For New Masters Program

University of Saint Joseph

WEST HARTFORD, CT — A West Hartford-based university last week announced tuition discounts for healthcare employees for a new master's degree program there.

In February 2024, the University of Saint Joseph announced its new Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) online program, the goal being to meet the growing need for individuals with professional training in healthcare management.

On July 1, USJ announced it is offering "significant" tuition savings for the employees of its healthcare partners.

Beginning in the Fall 2024 semester, employees at Hartford HealthCare; Trinity Health of New England; Yale New Haven Health; First Choice Health Centers; Hospital for Special Care, Gaylord Hospital; Duncaster, Middlesex Health, and Middlesex Hospital; Masonicare; Mercy Community Home Care; Eastern Connecticut Health Network; Waterbury Hospital and other partner institutions, will benefit from the discounts, USJ said.

According to USJ, there will be a 20 percent tuition waiver for each course in the program for partner employees.

In addition, there will be one free course during the fall 2024 semester and one free course during the spring 2025 semester when enrolled in two MHA courses each of those semesters.

"These two offers result in a potential cost reduction of one-third of the program’s cost," wrote USJ. "These costs may be reduced even more if the employer offers tuition reimbursement benefits."
