Education helps students achieve their goals and strengthen connections within their communities. Melrick Bogier, who earned his MSEd in Education Leadership from Northwest Missouri State University, shared “… I want to help build a community wherever I can … and I aspire that when I become a lead principal or move into a district position, that I don't lose sight of the importance of the community and school connections and relationships… We've got to be intentional and strategic about connecting with our community because there is great value in that.” #MSEd #Risepoint #ReachNewHeights

Risepoint is excited to share that we have expanded our partnership with Texas State to include 18 new online programs for the 2025 spring semester.

The flexibility of online learning empowers working students to earn a degree while managing other life commitments. Blake Fries who earned his MBA from Southeastern Oklahoma State University, shared "Anytime I had some free time, whether it be after work, before work, maybe even during work on a break…I could log in and knock a couple of assignments out. [That] really made it a lot easier for someone that has a full-time job." #MBA #Risepoint #ReachNewHeights

We are excited to see The University Star highlight our partnership with TXST to offer online degree programs for students seeking an alternative to on-campus learning. In the article, Sean Patrick Roche, associate professor and master’s program coordinator for the School of Criminal Justice and Criminology at TXST, shared his enthusiasm surrounding these online programs, “Anything that allows us to meet people where they are, if that means they’re in a smaller town in a more rural area…I think is really great.” Learn more about our partnership here: https://lnkd.in/gJSZc4-Z

We are excited to announce the release of Voice of the Online Learner 2024! We are honored to carry on the tradition of this insightful industry report, which was previously published by Wiley University Services (now part of the Risepoint family) and is now in its 13th year. Online learners continue to impress us with their resilience, their pragmatism, and their incredible ability to juggle jobs and families while advancing their knowledge to move forward in their careers. A few key things we saw: - Career advancement is the primary driver: 95% of online learners are pursuing their program for career-related outcomes - Local still matters: 70% live and/or work in the same state as their school - Flexibility is paramount: 83% want a program that is fully asynchronous Learn more about the report here: https://lnkd.in/gkcZVYN9

Ricky Neal graduated with his MBA from Youngstown State University and appreciated that his online program understood that it had to fit into his life as a working adult. He said, "One of the best features of the program is that they get it. They understand that life is going to get in the way and that work is going to rear its ugly head on your off time, and it's nice that they want to help you succeed." #MBA #Risepoint #ReachNewHeights
