Wal-Mart University. No, Really.

“it appears that Wal-Mart is entering into an agreement with the American Public University system — which is for-profit, not public — to offer its employees a group rate on any of several online degrees. Wal-Mart has a history of hiring from within, but many of its front-line staff don’t have the educational background to move up, so this is a way for the company to grow its own.”
