 U.S. student loan debt exceeds $1.7 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve. This harms families and weighs down the national economy. The federal government has yet to find a solution to this problem. Meanwhile, The Walt Disney Co. and other employers are stepping up to help. By investing in education, employers improve their abilities to recruit and retain talented people.

UMass Global is heavily-involved in employer-university relationships like Disney Aspire that empower working people to complete degrees without taking on personal debt.
