AURORA, Ill., Dec. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Learning House, a Wiley brand, leading online program manager (OPM), today announced the renewal of their agreement with Aurora University (AU). During the next five years, Learning House will build on its success to deliver continued growth of its online programs that meet market demand.
AU originally teamed with Learning House six years ago as a curriculum partner which evolved into a student and faculty lifecycle, full service OPM agreement. Under the contract, the school worked with Learning House to develop its growth strategy, offering online undergraduate and graduate programs that are designed to be affordable, accessible and relevant to modern career paths. As a result, AU has been on the leading edge of the current growth in the market around social work, offering both a BSW and MSW online.
