Academic Partnerships

We’re Risepoint, an education technology company dedicated to partnering with universities to develop, launch, and grow high-quality, affordable, workforce-relevant online programs so that more students can access education, advance their careers, and meet employer and community needs. The single moment that changes your trajectory for better is what we call a risepoint. For a student, it could be when they decide to get the degree that helps them advance their career; for a university, it could be the decision to offer programs online to serve the needs of working adults.

Founded in 2007 as Academic Partnerships, Risepoint grew out of efforts to assist public universities in Texas. Our mission has consistently aimed at facilitating access to education amid challenges faced by students and institutions. By enabling efficient online learning models, we help meet regional universities' needs for skilled graduates in high-demand fields while supporting nearly 1,600 employees across multiple countries. Recognized for our contributions, our services aim to ensure that students, especially working adults, can navigate their education journeys successfully.
