Partnerships Frequently Asked Questions

Chaminade’s partnership tuition discount applies to our Flex Online Undergraduate Programs and most Master’s Programs. The General MBA is included in the discount. However, the Professional MBA, Day Undergraduate (on-campus) programs, and Doctoral Programs are not eligible for the partnership discount.

To receive the tuition discount, your organization must have a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Chaminade University. This is intended to be a true partnership, meaning we ask employers to actively promote the opportunity to their employees. Additionally, the organization must offer an educational benefit—such as tuition reimbursement, scholarships, or professional development support.

Eligible employees of partner organizations receive a 20% tuition discount on applicable programs.

There is no financial commitment required. We simply ask that your organization provides a modest educational benefit (e.g., tuition reimbursement) and helps share information about the opportunity with your employees.
