Can s-corp (LLC) pay or reimburse the tuition for employee, S-corp shareholder with over 20% ownership and deduct the expenses on tax returns?

It sure doesn’t sound legit, does it?  Is the owner getting a fancy new degree to get out of the business he is in or did he take some classes to help run his business better?
