Keiser University to help power the inventory at College Consortium

AUSTIN, Texas - Sept. 12, 2018 - PRLog -- Keiser University's extensive online degree programs will be a significant feature of the College Consortium, a marketplace where schools share online courses and tuition revenue to help students complete their education.  Currently, the College Consortium has more than 6,000 course sections available from 15 institutions. With the addition of Keiser University's online division, the course count will jump to nearly 8,000 courses.

"We are excited about this new partnership because it will greatly increase the inventory of courses we can offer. Every term we have enrollment requests from students and administrators at our member institutions that don't get fulfilled. With Keiser's broad and reputable online degree programs, we should be able to meet almost any student need to help improve our members' graduation rates," said Josh Pierce, CEO of the College Consortium.

Keiser University has been developing and delivering online courses to support their own students for over a decade and was recently named the number #2 Online University in America by Niche. Sherry Olsen, Associate Vice Chancellor of the Online Division, has been with Keiser University for 15 years and welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with the College Consortium.

"At Keiser, we offer high quality educational experiences that are designed to be convenient and personalized to fit our students' career paths and schedules," Olsen said. "We look forward to furthering Keiser's "students first" mission through the College Consortium and collaborating with other member institutions on ways to bring more online innovation to higher education."

College Consortium has already enlisted Keiser University to support a number of teach-outs as well as some international efforts, accessing their fully online Spanish programs.
