Discounted Graduate Programs for In-Service Teachers

The University of Northern Colorado is pleased to offer an expanded partnership that provides educators in the following districts with affordable access to graduate degrees and endorsements through the School of Teacher Education and the School of Special Education. Through this MOU-based collaboration, teachers can pursue fully online master’s programs and credentials at a significantly reduced tuition rate of $1,000 per 3‑credit course, with many programs totaling $10,000 or less.

Educators gain flexible start dates, opportunities for credit for prior learning, and stackable pathways such as applying CLD coursework toward a master’s degree. The district incurs no cost, commitments, or minimum participation requirements. Its role is simply to share this opportunity as a valuable recruitment and retention benefit for current and future teachers.
