Yes, some employers will help cover the cost of an online master's in history degree. However, this depends on the individual company and where you want to go to school. Some companies will only pay for degrees that are related to the work they do. Others will cover any degree offered at specific colleges. Depending on your current job and salary, it could be worth finding a job with a company that will pay for your master's if the money you will save on your degree is more than the money you might lose switching jobs if you'd have to take a pay cut.
