Meet the partners powering life-changing education

We partner with a diverse range of over 125 regional public and private universities in the U.S. and around the globe, helping them expand access to affordable, career-relevant education for working adults.

Who we support

  • Institutional Leadership

    We help university leaders, such as Presidents and Provosts, strategically identify and implement opportunities to help their institutions thrive so they can better serve their communities.

  • Faculty Members

    We assist faculty in course conversion to a competitive, highest-quality online format – at the outset and throughout the partnership.

    (All instruction, IP, and content decisions reside with the faculty and university)

  • Students

    On behalf of our partner institutions, we support students from program discovery through to completion in a nonacademic coaching capacity.

We primarily partner with regional universities, who are the economic engines of their communities.

They serve many first-generation, minority, and rural students – students who experience life-changing benefits from affordable, career-relevant education.

Hear from our partners and their students

“The sky’s the limit. That’s what I say. I’m very ambitious and I know where I want to go, and I feel like me getting this MBA really did open that door to bigger roles.”
Lorena Ortiz
MBA, Fitchburg State University
“Collaboration is the driving force of our relationship, laying the groundwork for growth we didn’t know was possible before working with Risepoint. With Risepoint as our partner, we have the capacity and insights to grow and provide a better experience to our students. We can’t wait to see where the partnership leads next.”
Dr. Jan Miller
Dean, University of West Alabama College of Education
“This program is unique because it brings together our MBA education, years of experience, and the latest technologies to create a really engaging experience for online learners. Taught by world-leading faculty, online students receive the same support as every Sprott School of Business student.”
Dr. Dana Brown
Dean, Sprott School of Business, Carleton University
“I don’t need to worry about campus, parking and childcare. I don’t have to worry about if I have to stay late at work one day, or we have a doctor’s appointment or anything like that. The flexibility is vital to me.”
Chelsey Fernandes
Worcester State University,
M.Ed. in Educational Leadership
Success stories

We help partners reach online learners

The majority of students in Risepoint-supported programs are working adults. They’re fundamentally different from on-campus students and many juggle family obligations with demanding careers. We help universities effectively reach and serve these learners in and around their communities with more accessible and flexible options.
