How Small Colleges are Growing Revenue with Shared Academic Programs

Easy & Fast Implementation With Your Existing Core Curriculum

Rize helps colleges launch innovative, hybrid degree programs in as little as 6 months. Guided by our subject matter experts, our Academic Partnerships team will prepare a recommended curriculum map on how our programs can pair directly with your existing course catalog.

After identifying one or many of our 25+ program offerings to launch, your institution will join the LCMC for free. Then, our team will work collaboratively with you on faculty governance and accreditation. All courses are taught and delivered through a network of fully accredited teaching institutions. Rize serves as the centralized technology partner that facilitates consortium logistics.

Ensuring Institutional Success in Onboarding & Beyond

Once programs are approved, every Rize partner is assigned a dedicated Partner Success Lead who is responsible for ensuring successful onboarding and laying the strategy to achieve admissions and academic goals. We’ll onboard you to the Rize platform where you’ll have access to courses, instructor transcripts, and learning outcomes for ongoing assessment. You'll be able to monitor student attendance and engagement with weekly progress reports to quickly identify who needs more support and ensure your students succeed.

Driving Student Enrollment in Your New Programs

We’ll provide an initial consultation to your enrollment marketing team to help deliver a program launch playbook and content assets that save them dozens of hours of work, accelerate your launch and maximize the recruitment cycle. Our enrollment marketing services are included with your subscription and offer a combination of ready-to-use content and strategies that will help you successfully market academic programs to prospective students. Your Partner Success Lead will meet with you monthly to measure progress toward enrollment goals and make adjustments as needed.

What Our Partners Have to Say

"Their team not only provides the data we need to make strong program offering decisions, but also the support we need once these programs are implemented to ensure our students are successful. [With Rize], we can maintain the strong level of engagement that we do with our face-to-face students."
Dr. Kristi Ringen
Dean of Business, Holy Family University
"I’m really pleased with the quality; they’re not just throwing online classes up there but they are putting in the support and integrity that holds up to Belhaven’s standards."
Dr. Roger Parrot
President of Belhaven University
"It is not like a typical online training class… instead I have a one-on-one contact with the professor delivering the courses, so I’ve got a very high degree of confidence both about the quality of material and the instructors that are delivering it."
Bjarne Berg
Professor and Program Director,
Lenoir-Rhyne University
"If we were to have attempted to launch a program like this on our own, in Cybersecurity, I would say a minimum of 2-3 years… and [Rize] allowed us to do this instantly."

Vice President for Academic Affairs, University of Mobile
