Northeastern will discount tuition for undergrads’ relatives
Parents and siblings of current Northeastern University undergraduates who have always wanted to pursue advanced degrees can get a discount on their tuition starting this spring.
The university’s “Lifetime Learning Membership’’ will give family members a 25 percent discount on more than 100 graduate programs, including those that are online and part-time, said Renata Nyul, a spokeswoman for Northeastern.
There are a few catches, though. The deal only applies to immediate family members (sorry, grandparents and cousins), and the family member must enroll while the student is still an undergraduate, Nyul said. But, she added that Northeastern’s president Joseph Aoun is open to expanding it to other relatives as the program is implemented.
No matter what, the tuition discount will apply for the entire length of the program, even after the current student graduates.
The cost of tuition varies greatly based on the program. An online master of science in applied behavioral analysis costs $30,390 in total, while an executive master’s in business administration costs $94,500.
