St. Bonaventure U Signs with Private Partner To Expand Online

A New York school has struck a deal with a company that specializes in online program development to build out its online graduate programs.

St. Bonaventure University, a private university in western New York, has signed on with Keypath Education (formerly named PlattForm Advertising) to launch an online Master of Business Administration program. That will start in fall 2016. The university already runs a traditional MBA program in part-time, full-time and weekend formats.

From there, the two organizations will work to expand enrollment in the university's online Master of Arts in Strategic Leadership and Master of Arts in Integrated Marketing Communications programs.

"We are delighted to be in this partnership with Keypath, as it is a proven educational services company with a record of success and credibility," said President Sister Margaret Carney in a press release. "Keypath's marketing expertise and success in online program management will provide the support we need to build a strong online presence commensurate with the university's reputation for excellence, individualized attention and extraordinary outcomes."

Keypath has also worked with Liberty University and Globe University on their online programs, among others.
