The University of West Alabama (UWA) has expanded its collaboration with Wiley Education Services into a seven-year agreement to improve its enrollment management operations and to deliver online degree programs for students.
Wiley Education Services is a prominent higher education services and solutions provider, offering end-to-end services, and UWA has a close collaboration with Wiley, which began in 2016 to assist comparable initiatives for UWA’s online programs.
Key Takeaways:
- To improve its enrollment management systems and provide students with online degree programs, UWA expanded its collaboration with Wiley Education Services.
- Wiley will help UWA with recruiting, enrolling, and retaining students, as well as marketing on-campus services and doing market research for new programs.
- Recruiting and enrollment management services are critical to the survival of a traditional university like UWA.
On average, Wiley-powered programs are less expensive than comparable online programs, produce great student results (measured by graduation and retention rates), and have high learner and faculty satisfaction.
Wiley’s efforts at UWA are aimed at increasing enrollment, which is especially important at a time when higher education predictions are continuing to fall across the country.
With the expansion, it is anticipated for the university to continue to grow enrollments, while helping fill the critical job needs of the wider community UWA serves.
The university has placed a major emphasis on collaborating to improve our offerings and expand programs that we believe would benefit our region.
According to UWA President Ken Tucker, recruiting and enrollment management services are critical to the survival of a traditional university like UWA, but they have been hampered in a number of ways in recent years.
Wiley will assist UWA with recruitment, enrollment, and retention, as well as marketing UWA’s on-campus services and performing market research for new programs, as part of the agreement.
