As the economy continues to suffer, businesses across the board have become increasingly more reliant on incentives, package deals, and special discount offers to attract new customers. Deals can currently be found all over the place, from luxurious discounted Las Vegas vacation packages at Station Casinos, to haggled down prices on expired packages of Bacon at Whole Foods, making it a little less surprising to see some higher education providers starting to offer incentives of their own.

The recent swell of out-of-work job seekers finding little success in the way of re-employment has helped to generate a virtual tidal wave of new enrollments for colleges and universities, of both the traditional campus-based variety, and especially those offering online courses. In an increasingly competitive marketplace, American Sentinel University recently unveiled a new incentives plan that makes their already low tuition rates seem even more attractive.

In a nutshell, their summer enrollment offer provides students the opportunity of earning an additional bonus credit hour, a brand new Amazon Kindle 2, or a new Dell Netbook, at no additional cost! Students must enroll in courses with American Sentinel University by August 27th, and complete at least two courses (six credit hours in their parlance), by December 31st, 2009, to be eligible for this program.

These incentives are a great way to increase the productivity of American Sentinel University’s students, helping them to streamline the process of achieving their educational goals. And we would have to assume that it should probably go a little ways in also increasing the numbers of enrollments they’re able to attract over the next month. After all, people love free stuff!
