How it Works
Franklin University is creating a 25 seat cohort for the M.S. in Professional Sales Leadership program. Seats will be filled by representatives of eligible organizations on a first-come, first-served basis. Once all the seats are filled, the cohort will be closed. Individuals participating in the cohort will complete a master’s degree online in 18 months, with tuition reimbursement spread over three calendar years. Students will also receive free textbooks, resulting in $0 out of pocket costs for students who receive tuition reimbursement in the amount of $5,250 from their employer.
Classes for this cohort begin in September 2023. To take advantage of this unique opportunity, please email Brian Petereit, senior partnership account manager, a list of candidate names from your organization, along with their contact information, by May 17.
Brian will contact these potential students to set up a virtual information session in which they can learn more about the program to see if it is right for them!

The Earn + Learn cohort model strengthens relationships among co-workers and builds rapport between teams and workgroups.
