Risepoint

Risepoint (formerly Academic Partnerships) is a global education technology company that partners with not-for-profit universities and colleges to identify, launch, and grow online programs for working adults. Founded in 2007 and operating across states and countries (including the United States, United Kingdom, and APAC), Risepoint provides univer... sities with technology, integrated marketing, student journey management (outreach, enrollment support, and retention support), and performance analytics. Partner programs are concentrated in workforce-aligned fields, including nursing, healthcare, teaching, business, and technology. Many of the Risepoint-supported students are working adults. Risepoint contracts with universities under two primary models, fee-for-persistence and fee-for-service, designed to align with the growth stage and financial structure of each university partner. All academic decisions, curriculum, and instruction remain with the university. In January 2024, Academic Partnerships completed the acquisition of Wiley University Services, the higher education division of John Wiley & Sons, significantly expanding its university partner network and international presence. The company rebranded as Risepoint on May 1, 2024.Read More
