New Refer-an-Applicant Program
for Graduate Degrees
Do you know someone interested in pursuing a graduate degree? Offer your referral!
Here’s how it works:
- An Anderson master's degree alum refers a colleague, friend, mentee or relative to a graduate program.
- The referred prospective student lets Anderson know by stating who referred them in their submitted application.
- Once the referred student's application is approved and they are registered for classes, they will receive an automatic 5% per credit discount on their tuition. The discount will be incrementally awarded throughout the life of their graduate program.
