At University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC), we’ve made it our mission to help working adults learn new skills and build new pathways in their careers. That’s why we’re proud to participate in Amazon’s Career Choice program. Thanks to the Career Choice program, eligible Amazon employees can pursue their higher education goals at UMGC while continuing in their current positions at Amazon.

And here’s the best part: Amazon will pay for tuition, fees, and books within the annual maximum limits. You will be responsible for paying any tuition costs above the annual maximum. Plus, you'll save $50 when you apply to UMGC as a new student with our application fee waiver.

We’re determined to make sure that there’s no limit to your learning, which is why you’ll be able to take advantage of the Career Choice program for as long as you’re employed by Amazon. Plus, recently-hired employees won’t have to wait long—you can begin to take advantage of these benefits after only 90 days of employment.

Boost Your Career Potential at UMGC

As a recognized educational partner of Amazon’s Career Choice program, UMGC delivers on Amazon's commitment to provide employees with best-in-class support on their path to career success at Amazon or elsewhere. For more than 75 years, UMGC has been educating working adults just like you. Choose from more than 50 online undergraduate programs, including certificates, bachelor's degrees, and an associate degree. Many of these programs are in high-demand fields such as business, cybersecurity, computer science, healthcare, and more.

Are you an Amazon associate who doesn't qualify for Career Choice? UMGC is here for you, too. Thanks to a special alliance program, you and your spouse and dependents can save up to 25 percent on out-of-state tuition on most programs at UMGC.*
