Ipsos Finds Strong Return-on-investment For Graduates In AP-supported University Programs
AP partnered with Ipsos, a renowned global research firm, to conduct a survey among graduates of AP-supported programs. It found recent graduates of AP-supported programs averaged double-digit salary increases, a rapid tuition payback period of just 1.2 years, and overwhelmingly affirmed the value of their degrees.
“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.”
