Elevating Higher Education Online
Our mission is simple: helping universities grow and students succeed by increasing access to top-quality, affordable and workforce relevant education delivered online. We are in the business of changing lives through education.
“Academic Partnerships supports degree programs that primarily serve working adults, such as nurses and teachers. These busy professionals are often juggling families, jobs and other responsibilities, but still want to advance their careers in a flexible and affordable way. We are grateful to work with respected universities to increase access to their high-quality programs, with a strong commitment to student success.”
“In talking to hundreds of universities and students over the years, I know the life-changing benefits of education. I’ve also seen the challenges many students face to access affordable education in a flexible way that allows them to achieve their goals. It’s an honor to lead a mission-driven company, like Academic Partnerships, that supports the needs of our university partners with a single-minded focus on advancing university and student success.”
