Starbucks Corp., which has offered company stock to store employees for more than two decades, will now begin picking up most of the tab for workers to get a degree through Arizona State University online.

Starbucks employees who work at least 20 hours a week and enroll in the university’s online bachelor’s degree will get $6,500 -- about half of their tuition -- for the first two years, the company said in a statement. They will then get full tuition for the final two.
