AP provides its services to progressive universities in the United States and top quality institutions around the world who are committed to increasing access through online learning. AP and its partners are passionate about the transformative power of higher education and its potential for enriching the human spirit, improving standards of living, creating a productive and highly skilled workforce and strengthening society.
AP enables its university partners to contribute to that potential by offering a quality education to a larger and more diverse population. AP helps its partner institutions convert their traditional on-campus programs into an online learning format and assists them in recruiting qualified students.
Online learning provides AP partner universities an additional, sustainable revenue stream to offset the cuts in government funding and enables them to control rising costs. Online degree programs and courses offer educational opportunities that were unimaginable before the advent of the Internet and modern technologies.
Imagine a single mom, a teacher with three kids of her own. She wants a chance to better her family and herself by getting her graduate degree in education. She has playground duty after school, then comes home, cooks a meal, and helps her children with their homework. Only then, at 11 at night, after she puts her kids to sleep, she turns on her computer, and she goes to graduate school.
Imagine a 20-year-old retail clerk, who had to quit college because he could not afford it—not with a young wife, and a baby on the way. He always wanted to be in law enforcement, chasing the bad guys, doing the right thing, but it was just a pipedream until he began to take online courses in criminal justice—on weekends, during lunch breaks from work, whenever his schedule permitted.
Leading universities can serve all of these citizens, change their lives, help them realize their dreams and make the world a better place. AP enables our partner universities to accomplish all of this at scale.
