What Our University Partners Are Saying
“I consider our collaboration with Academic Partnerships to be an unqualified success. The SIUE School of Business is committed to meeting the needs of working professionals by delivering quality, affordable, graduate business education and AP is helping us to do just that.”
“Emporia State University has been preparing great teachers for more than 150 years. Teacher education has always been central to our mission, and Academic Partnerships is helping us continue to meet that mission in the 21st Century. Working with AP’s team, we’ve expanded the delivery of our graduate education programs through high-quality online formats. Working teachers everywhere now have access to ESU’s top-notch faculty and nationally recognized programs.”
“Partnership with AP allows you to cast your net a lot wider and [reporting] shows that we’re drawing students from 14 – 15 states; most of those states we would not have been able to reach on our own.”
