Amazon Career Choice

As an educator in the Amazon Career Choice partner network, we deliver on Amazon's commitment to provide hourly employees with best-in-class support on paths to career success.

Take Your Career to the Next Level

Amazon Career Choice offers two ways to advance your career — turn your passion into a profession with an undergraduate degree from UMKC, or, for speakers of other languages, improve your English language skills through evening courses.

Earn your bachelor's degree

Let Amazon Career Choice help you reach your career potential with an undergraduate degree from UMKC. Amazon Career Choice covers $314 per credit hour for Missouri residents and $320 per credit hour for Kansas residents, up to 18 credits per year, up to $5,250 annual tuition assistance.

Improve your English-language skills

Attend nondegree English-language courses to improve reading, writing, speaking and listening skills in English at both beginner and intermediate levels at no cost to you. Classes meet twice a week for two hours (four hours per week) in the evening on the UMKC Volker Campus.

I've worked really hard to get to where I'm at. I know I've improved a lot over the last few years, just as a person, as a student and a professional, so I'm excited to see what the future holds.
