The Wall Street Journal offers special discounted subscriptions for educators, including teachers and college professors, as well as customized engagement plans to incorporate the WSJ into your teaching to bring your syllabus to life.
These educator subscriptions offer discounted or even free access to WSJ’s Digital and Print content, along with exclusive teaching resources. If you are a teacher and would like to subscribe to the WSJ for yourself or your class, here’s how to get the best deal, or even a free subscription.
WSJ subscription discounts for teachers: Featured offers | Digital subscription | Print subscription | Free
Here are 3 ways teachers and educators can get a discounted or free WSJ subscription:
1. All Teachers: WSJ Subscription Discount:
Are you a high school teacher? You don’t have to be a college professor to get a great discount on a WSJ Digital or Print subscription. Use this featured promotion for teachers and the general public, which requires no teaching verification! We also post the latest WSJ offers here.
2. College Professors: WSJ Digital Subscription Discount
If you’re a college professor or instructor looking to integrate WSJ content into your courses, the WSJ Instructor Digital Pack is your go-to. For just $48 a year, you get unlimited digital access to WSJ.com, the mobile app, and a suite of educator-only resources like how-to guides, teaching tools, and weekly review emails with discipline-specific articles and discussion prompts.
The WSJ Instructor Digital Pack is a deal compared to the standard digital subscription, which costs more than twice as much each week. To sign up, educators can visit WSJ for Instructors and register with their university affiliation. You’ll need to provide some verification of your educator status, including your school email address, but it’s easy to sign up.
3. College Professors: WSJ Print Subscription Discount
Prefer the feel of a newspaper in your hands? The WSJ Professor Print Pack combines all the digital features with a physical copy of the WSJ delivered to your door 6 days a week. The price for the WSJ Instructor Print & Digital Pack subscription is only $170 $135 per year, which is an 80% discount compared to the regular price.
You’ll get the same educator tools as the Instructor Digital Pack, plus the classic print edition for those moments when you want to unplug and flip through the pages. Check out the details at WSJ’s Professor Print Pack page to see the latest pricing and sign up. Again, you’ll need to verify your educator status, typically with a university email or other documentation.
Can Teachers Get a Free WSJ Subscription?
Some schools and universities partner with the WSJ to provide free digital subscriptions to their faculty, educators, and students. For example, institutions like Auburn University, the University of Dayton, Rutgers, and Cal State offer complimentary WSJ access through school-sponsored programs.
To see if your school sponsors teacher subscriptions, visit education.wsj.com/instructors/ and enter your school’s name like this:
If your institution participates, you’ll typically need to sign up using your school’s .edu email address and authenticate through your school’s portal. If your school is on the list, you should be eligible for a WSJ subscription with all the premium features, like podcasts and news archives, at no cost!
• Complimentary Professor Membership
For college professors, there’s a special offer that’s pretty close to free. The WSJ sometimes provides a six-month complimentary digital membership to professors who commit to integrating WSJ content into their courses.
You’ll need to register online and verify your university affiliation, but this is a fantastic way to test the waters without spending a dime. After six months, you can decide if you want to continue with a paid educator discount. Check out education.wsj.com/professors/ for more info.
• Free WSJ Subscriptions for Your High School?
K-12 teachers should also check out the WSJ’s High School Program, which provides complimentary subscriptions for classroom use during the school year. The WSJ High School program provides print copies for your library, classrooms, or common areas and/or access to WSJ.com for your ENTIRE high school.
Class Dismissed!
Teachers, you work hard to inspire the next generation, and staying informed shouldn’t break the bank. The WSJ offers some solid discounts for educators, especially college professors, with the Instructor Digital Pack and Professor Print Pack. K-12 teachers might need to dig a little deeper by calling customer service or checking for school-sponsored programs, but the savings are there.
And yes, free subscriptions are possible if your school partners with WSJ or if you qualify for a complimentary professor membership. So, head over to education.wsj.com to explore your options, and get ready to bring some world-class journalism into your classroom. Happy teaching, and thanks for visiting Pretty Sweet!
