CMU announces partnership with city of Detroit, Quicken Loans
Central Michigan University announced a partnership that will provide discounted education for employees and their families at Quicken Loans and the city of Detroit April 27.
The discount will apply to classes taken online in CMU’s Detroit office or the satellite campuses in metro Detroit.
Quicken Loans employees and their families will get a 10 percent discount on tuition and City of Detroit employees and families will receive a 15 percent discount, said Sherry Knight, associate vice president for University Communications.
CMU will also provide free professional development workshops to employees to develop skills and leadership.
"This partnership is an investment in the city of Detroit and its renaissance," Knight said.
Knight said the discount was created was because there are fewer scholarship opportunities for online and satellite campus students.
Marcus Matthews, senior associate director of business development at University Communications said the discount is currently active.
“We are proud to play a part in Detroit’s return to prominence,” said Steven Johnson, vice president for Enrollment and Student Services. “By offering these educational opportunities to employees at Quicken Loans and the city of Detroit, CMU’s exceptional faculty and educational programs will continue our longtime investment in the city and across metro Detroit.”
According to University Communications, CMU has offered programs in metro Detroit since 1972. Today, there is a downtown office and five satellite campuses in the Detroit suburbs.
