Wiley to provide support for existing and new online offerings
HOBOKEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wiley Education Services, a division of Wiley (NYSE:JWA) (NYSE:JWB), has
entered into a partnership agreement with Michigan State University to
support a set of existing and new online programs as well as a
certificate, leveraging market research, marketing, recruitment, and student
support services. The preliminary set of two existing online
programs, the master’s in Criminal Justice and master’s in Law
Enforcement Intelligence and Analysis, is set to launch in September
2019. A third offering will be added in the autumn of 2020. The initial
contract length is for eight years.
Although the university already possesses internal program development
and design capabilities, it sought a partner to help expand its overall
portfolio of online offerings. In addition, the School of Criminal
Justice has specific goals and wanted a partner with the marketing
expertise and recruitment capacity to grow existing programs, launch new
programs, and highlight the brand and reputation of the School, whose
criminal justice program was ranked #10 in the nation in U.S. News
and World Report’s 2019 report.
“Our partnership with Wiley Education Services will help us strengthen
and expand our online presence across the university,” said Mary Finn,
director and professor in the School of Criminal Justice at Michigan
State University. “We feel confident in the quality of our online
offerings and want to ensure that students from around the world can
access them and feel valued and supported throughout their time at
Michigan State University, from their very first interactions to
graduation. With Wiley’s support, we believe this will be possible.”
“Michigan State University is a tier-one research university, with a
School of Criminal Justice that is recognized for leadership in its
field,” said Matt Hillman, co-president, Wiley Education Services. “With
our additional support of these high-demand online programs, we can help
the university prepare more individuals with the experiences and skills
they need to successfully address emerging risks and ongoing challenges
in criminal justice and law enforcement. We also look forward to
discussing additional opportunities for program growth across the
university over the next eight years.”
