Adelphi, MD (01/11/2022) — University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC), a pioneer in providing innovative and quality academic degree programs for adult and underserved populations, has joined Wiley, a global leader in research and education, in an alliance that adds UMGC to Wiley's Extended Learning Network. This network includes 57 partner schools that support degrees and reskilling programs through Wiley Beyond, the company's tuition benefits solution, and the 80 companies and 500,000 employees currently partnered with Wiley Beyond will have access to UMGC's more than 90 fully online degree programs and specializations.
As part of this agreement, UMGC will work with Wiley and workforce development agencies around the country, as well as with community colleges that are seeking more efficient access to bachelor's degree programs.
"We are pleased and proud to partner with Wiley to develop a more skilled workforce," said UMGC President Gregory Fowler. "Our experience with establishing transfer relationships with community colleges will benefit the participants in Wiley Beyond and increase the pipeline of students who are completing bachelor's degree."
"Through Wiley Beyond, Wiley offers one of the most extensive learning networks for employer-sponsored education programs," said Todd Zipper, president of Wiley Education Services. "We're excited to add University of Maryland Global Campus to our learning network to provide more learners with affordable, accessible and outcomes-driven education."
UMGC enrolls more than 90,000 students each year, more than half of whom are active-duty military personnel and their families stationed on military bases around the world.
The university also offers award-winning online programs in disciplines including biotechnology, cybersecurity, data analytics and information technology that are in high demand in today's increasingly technical, global workplace. UMGC also offers cost savings through its use of digital resources, which have replaced costly publisher textbooks in most courses.
