$365/yr tuition at 3 public colleges, presumably on some bulk discount rate negotiated with suppliers.
At that rate, everyone attending public college should apply for a job at Walmart.
> With the new program, they will be able to obtain an associate's or bachelor's degree in either business or supply chain management (with more degree options expected to be added over time).
So it's effectively outsourced training for Walmart jobs, not a launchpad to any other skilled career.
