With plans to launch 45 programs, Wiley sees
increased commitment to online learning
Wiley Education Services, part of John Wiley and Sons Inc.
(NYSE: JWA) (NYSE: JWB), announced the signing of several new
university partnerships this year including Calvin University, La
Trobe University, Methodist University and University of New Haven,
to support more than 45 undergraduate and graduate online programs
across a variety of high-demand disciplines from healthcare to
counseling and cybersecurity.
“We are continuing to see an increased, proactive commitment to
strategic online learning programs from universities, not for
emergency support amid COVID-19, but to promote long-term success,”
said Todd Zipper, President of Wiley Education Services. “We look
forward to serving as a trusted partner to each university,
delivering top-quality faculty training and career-focused
education in subject areas that are critically needed now and will
surely be essential to post-pandemic recovery.”
Calvin University
Calvin University, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, has signed
with Wiley to deliver 13 graduate and undergraduate degree programs
over the course of the partnership in subjects including education,
business, public health, exercise science and psychology. The first
program, a master’s in education (M.Ed.) with concentrations in
both literacy and inclusion specialist, launched in the fall of
2020. Calvin University will take advantage of Wiley’s full suite
of offerings including marketing, recruitment, retention and
academic services.
“We are reaching out with our unique mission and vision to new
learning communities across the globe,” Kevin R. den Dulk,
Associate Provost and head of the Global Campus at Calvin
University. “We see the partnership with Wiley as a way to
complement our strengths in undergraduate education by introducing
our distinctive approach to faith and learning to working adults
and other learners. The opportunity has been energizing and
fruitful, even in this time of great disruption.”
La Trobe University
La Trobe University, in Melbourne, Australia, has partnered with
Wiley to initially launch five redeveloped graduate programs in
public health, mental health, mental health nursing, health
administration and business administration. The first four programs
are set to launch on March 1, 2021. La Trobe will maintain
responsibility for the academic development and delivery of these
programs, with Wiley providing online education design support to
the university’s academic staff, as well as some student
recruitment and additional faculty support.
“Our ambition to be a leading provider of online higher
education has been further enhanced with this exciting new
partnership with Wiley, which will offer even greater choice and
flexibility for our postgraduate students who want to study
online,” Professor John Dewar AO, Vice-Chancellor Professor at La
Trobe University said. “While the COVID-19 pandemic has necessarily
accelerated the uptake of online study, our ambition, for some
time, has been to provide a greater range of high-quality online
courses that provide an exceptional experience and respond to
student need. This new partnership will help fulfil that goal.”
Methodist University
Methodist University, located in Fayetteville, North Carolina,
will engage with Wiley for a suite of 21 programs, with the first
five programs set to launch in January 2021. Program disciplines
include business, healthcare, exercise science, social work,
criminal justice, education, technology and psychology. Wiley will
support Methodist University across marketing, recruitment, student
support and academic services.
“The partnership with Wiley certainly helps promote Methodist as
a top-tier university with a great reputation for helping
undergraduate, degree-completion and graduate students advance
their educations and careers," said Dr. Suzanne Blum Malley,
Provost at Methodist University. "MU offers the same high-quality
faculty and instruction online as it does with in-person courses,
and Wiley walks alongside our enrollment teams to get that message
out to prospective students."
University of New Haven
University of New Haven, located in West Haven, Connecticut, has
partnered with Wiley to launch at least six graduate programs in
esports business, accounting, healthcare administration, public
health, counseling and cybersecurity - the first of which are
launching in January 2021. Wiley’s services will be focused on
supporting the full student journey, including marketing,
recruitment, student retention services, and program design and
development.
“The University of New Haven is widely recognized for
leading-edge graduate programs across its five colleges,” said Dr.
Mario Gaboury, Interim Provost at University of New Haven. “We are
excited to expand our highly regarded online graduate offerings
through our relationship with Wiley,” he said, “and we anticipate
that these new programs will bring opportunities for growth and
professional advancement to graduate students across the nation and
beyond.”
With nearly 70 university partnerships, and four in the last
eight months, Wiley Education Services is supporting both the rapid
shift to online as well as meeting the steady demand from academic
institutions to diversify their online offerings.
