Synergis Education works with its partner institutions to expand curriculum development, marketing, enrollment management and data integration services. Dr. John Donohue, the company's Chief Academic and Development Officer, stated that successful partner institutions exhibit the following characteristics: the ability to leverage the two parties' relative strengths; a willingness to embrace options for program design and delivery; the capacity to identify and act decisively on new opportunities; and consistent support from institutional and academic leadership.
