National Louis University on Tuesday will offer a Groupon for a graduate-level introduction to teaching course, officials said. Regular tuition for the course is $2,232. Groupon will offer it for $950, officials said. The Groupon will go live Tuesday and will be available until Wednesday or until it sells out. Only 25 slots will be available, and the deal will tip at 15, Zivin said. The class will meet for three hours on Monday evenings, from late September to December. Although the course will count toward a graduate degree, it’s only worth three of the 36 credits students need to graduate, Zivin said. Prospective students will need to go through the school’s regular admissions process to take further courses. “Part of our mission at National Louis, since the university’s founding 125 years ago, is to identify people of talent who want to be teachers,” she said. “This is an innovative way to deliver on that mission and reach those folks.”
