Online university partners with law enforcement training organization

TUI University, an exclusively online education provider, has recently announced that it has been named an academic partner by the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy Associates (FBINAA), a non-profit organization that provides education and training to senior members of law enforcement.

The partnership will allow members of the FBINAA and their families to receive a 15 percent discount on bachelors degree programs and a reduction of 27.5 percent for masters degree programs.

"This new partnership with the FBI National Academy Associates demonstrates TUI's commitment to serving the educational needs of our nation's first responders," said Kenneth Sobaski, president and chief executive officer of the university.

"We hope to provide enhanced academic and career opportunities for law enforcement executives, while simultaneously providing them with applicable knowledge for their current positions in public safety and homeland security," he added.

TUI will also accept the transfer of FBINAA credits toward its MBA programs.

Online education can be a flexible option for people who are looking to earn their degree but find it difficult to attend traditional on-campus classes.
