“Wake Forest is a premier institution, and we are excited to add the School of Business to our growing list of university partners and help them meet their institutional goals and academic mission,” said John Katzman, CEO of Noodle Partners.
NEW YORK (PRWEB) January 29, 2018
Noodle Partners, the nation’s fastest-growing online higher education provider, today announced a partnership with Wake Forest University School of Business to expand the Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA). The new program will be offered online to working professionals looking to enhance their big data skills.
“Wake Forest is a premier institution, and we are excited to add the School of Business to our growing list of university partners and help them meet their institutional goals and academic mission,” said John Katzman, CEO of Noodle Partners.
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.
Beginning in May, the School will welcome working professionals to its Master of Science in Business Analytics program through an online experience. The new offering has been specifically designed for professionals with more than two years of full-time work experience. The curriculum was created by Wake Forest faculty in collaboration with industry leaders. The MSBA program develops impactful problem solvers who lead with integrity and includes innovative courses such as Visual Analytics and Influencing and Leading the Analytics Organization.
“Launching the MSBA program in the online modality allows the School to create access for working professionals across the United States and enables them to earn a top-ranked Wake Forest School of Business degree while continuing to work,” said Charles Iacovou, Dean of the School of Business. “By leveraging the latest in digital education tools and techniques, the learning experiences designed by our faculty aim to achieve an industry-leading level of student engagement and learning. State of the art technology from Noodle Partners supports our commitment to the highest levels of teaching and faculty-student relationships that are hallmarks of our School.”
Unlike other online program providers, Noodle Partners does not take a share of student tuition or lock schools into long, multi-year contracts that can consume 70% of program resources for decades. “We have a different approach that does not cannibalize precious education resources,” said Katzman. “Instead, we work with our partners to design, build and launch programs that are unique to each school’s needs and let the schools capture the rewards of their innovations and investments.”
