Watch as Fernando Bleichmar, Risepoint CEO, interviews Dr. Cady Short-Thompson, President of Northern Kentucky University (NKU). In the interview, Dr. Short-Thompson reflects on NKU’s culture of driving student access and success through affordable and workforce relevant online programs.
NKU partners with Risepoint to deliver high-quality online programs for nontraditional students. These programs allow working adults the opportunity to earn degrees and improve their lives in a flexible format that is more convenient for their busy schedules. Dr. Short-Thompson shared, “We exist to serve students in the way that they want to be served… having the flexibility and convenience of an online education, especially delivered with the good care and quality that we’re known for, is a good fit for a lot of our students.”
NKU’s online programs are valuable to students and to the local employers in their communities. In fact, according to additional analysis of data from the Ipsos ROI report, NKU students had an average tuition payback of 18 months and over 80% of NKU graduates would recommend the program – a strong reflection of the university’s ability to provide online education that is impactful for students.
