Grad School, Half Off!

We joked earlier about laid-off or frustrated young job seekers taking refuge in grad school until the recession passes, as a sort of Duck and Cover strategy. Apparently St. John’s University in New York has the same idea — and it’s sweetening the deal by putting its degrees on sale:

The university announced the Alumni Assistance Program this month. It includes a 50-percent tuition discount on graduate programs for alumni who were laid off in the economic downturn of the past six months and who enroll in the spring or summer of 2009.

Sorry, future attorneys of America: law school isn’t covered. But now’s the time to get that degree in Sport Management you’ve always been dreaming of! More info is available here.
