Claremont Graduate University Teams With Noodle Partners to Launch Online Master’s Programs
CLAREMONT, Calif. (PRWEB) December 18, 2017 -- Noodle Partners, the nation’s fastest-growing online higher education provider, today announced a partnership with Claremont Graduate University to debut the first online master’s degree programs in the school’s 92-year history.
Working with Noodle Partners, Claremont Graduate University (CGU) will build on existing strengths across the university to launch an array of cutting-edge, market-competitive online degree opportunities by September 2018. CGU is one of the nation’s leading graduate-only institutions, and online programs will thrive by serving students who are experienced learners. By offering flexibly designed programs and degree options online, CGU will be able to reach a larger group of students who will enjoy renowned faculty, small class sizes, and practice-based research, which will provide the tools needed to solve real world problems and build meaningful careers.
“Claremont led a rigorous vetting of various online program managers but chose Noodle Partners because the faculty felt confident and comfortable with their creativity and flexibility versus other approaches that were lockstep and constraining. Plus, Noodle Partners really helps us do what we do better—think about the next generation of graduate level education,” said Patricia Easton, CGU’s provost. “The way that technologies are moving, we can do a lot of innovative things with Noodle Partners. They were the only choice for us.”
A reimagining of the traditional online program management (OPM) model, Noodle Partners leverages pre-vetted providers and the internal strengths of university partners to create successful online programs. Bringing external expertise in key areas such as digital marketing, student recruitment, instructional design, and student support, Noodle Partners lowers costs while providing best-in-class service and transparency.
Lorne Olfman, director of CGU’s Center for Information Systems & Technology, led the effort to bring these debut programs online: “We realized that we have a chance to pioneer the way we facilitate the learning process with Noodle Partners and can capture our intimate, close collaborative learning experiences that are unique to Claremont, online.”
“We are honored to be chosen as Claremont Graduate University’s partner to trail-blaze their unique and highly-respected online graduate programs,” said John Katzman, CEO and founder of Noodle Partners. “Claremont’s reputation and national ranking have made it incredibly competitive, and we look forward to working with them to reinvent a variety of their in-demand online programs over the coming years.”
