Employee Education Program
OVERVIEW
The Employee Education Program (EEP) assists with educational guidance and financial support for employees on the Brown University regular payroll desiring to obtain additional formal education and training.
Brown University's Employee Education Program, administered by the Benefit's Office, allows eligible employees to achieve professional growth and greater job satisfaction by enrolling in traditional degree programs (requiring regular classroom attendance), job-related courses, or job-related certificate courses/programs. Courses may be taken at Brown University, Continuing Studies at Brown, and degree granting accredited colleges/universities outside of Brown.
Brown University may pay the tuition for courses within a traditional degree program, job-related courses, or job-related certificate courses/programs for employees who meet the criteria described in the policy.
For help related to educational pursuits and/or guidance pertaining to the selection of courses or schools, contact Michele Wise at 401-863-2459 or email Michele_Wise@brown.edu.
