Under the terms of the agreement, ATSG employees and immediate family members enjoy a 20 percent reduction in tuition rates for all undergraduate programs and certificates, and a 14 percent reduction for all graduate programs, graduate certificates and the Doctor of Education (EdD) in Leadership and Innovation.

In addition to the tuition reductions provided under the agreement, ATSG employees and family members may accelerate their progress toward a degree by receiving credit for prior learning, training, military service and work/life experiences. Aviation mechanics with FAA Airframe and Powerplant certifications can qualify for up to 77 transfer credits toward an undergraduate degree, while those who hold only the "A" or "P" certifications can receive up to 57 or 52 transfer credits respectively.

“We are thrilled to offer this fantastic opportunity for our workforce to advance their careers by earning degrees and certificates conveniently and affordably,” said Mike Berger, chief executive officer of ATSG. “This agreement further underscores our commitment to enhancing workforce readiness and lifelong learning, particularly in the aviation industry.”

With an online format tailored for working adults, Purdue Global offers a fully personalized, world-class education in dozens of associates, bachelor’s and master’s degree programs. Purdue Global also offers reduced tuition rates for active duty and veterans, as well as their spouses.

“We are excited to work with ATSG in providing education benefits and programs to their employees and families,” said Sara Sander, dean and vice president of Purdue Global’s College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. “We know employers are looking for ways to provide education opportunities to build and equip a highly trained workforce, as well as help employees earn a degree and advance in their careers.”
