New Service Accelerates Online Degree Program Growth

Colleges and universities looking to grow their online programs can now tap into a new offering from Keypath Education. The online program management company just launched Online Accelerator, which it calls "a business model that allows colleges and universities to accelerate the growth of existing online degree programs through supplied capital, integrated marketing and Keypath's proprietary 123-point program assessment for identifying program opportunities."

Online Accelerator works to optimize underperforming online programs through extensive research, marketing strategy, focus on career preparation and more, according to Keypath CEO Steve Fireng. The company has contributed to more than 2,500 degree programs since 1989. Its university clients include Northern Arizona University, Liberty University, Azusa Pacific University and Kettering University.

"Accelerating existing programs takes considerable expertise and care because you're seamlessly serving students today while laying the foundation for the future," said Fireng.
