QSR Magazine: Chipotle is Now Offering a Business Degree to Workers

Employees at Chipotle who are looking to earn a business degree were finally given the opportunity on Tuesday. The chain launched an 18-month customized bachelor’s degree in business.

“This degree enables our employees to apply what they learn in the classroom to their work at Chipotle and vice versa,” said Steve Ells, founder, chairman and CEO at Chipotle, in a statement. “Employees will gain a solid understanding of business operations including people development, marketing, and decision making. The new degree program extends a series of education benefits we’ve been putting in place over the last couple of years to help better equip our employees for success at Chipotle and beyond.”

The degree is offered through Bellevue University and is designed around an employee’s schedule.
