Northwestern University

Northwestern University saw an opportunity in the digital age—to serve more learners on a global scale. Since our partnership began in 2014, we’ve brought that idea to fruition with online degree programs, short courses, and boot camps.

Realizing the potential.

With a commitment to excellent teaching, Northwestern University was looking for a partner to help expand their reach to educate even more people across the globe without sacrificing the caliber of their curriculum. They chose us.

In addition to supporting the development of short courses, online versions of graduate degree programs, and several boot camps, we have helped secure placements for their graduate students in communities across the world. We recently launched a new degree in marriage and family counseling with The Family Institute at Northwestern University.

With compassion and cultural sensitivity, we produce healers who translate scientific knowledge about people into the best clinical practice available.
