3. What does The College Network provide in the way of marketing?
The College Network brings marketing expertise to you through high-quality collateral development, sophisticated lead generation and significant upfront investments. We provide national marketing campaigns both on the Internet and through direct mail.
4. How is the quality of content measured?
Comprehensive Learning Modules are written by subject matter experts teaching in a university setting. They are chosen after careful evaluation of their university, department, vita and writing samples. Many of our Comprehensive Learning Modules have now been recommended for credit by the American Council on Education.
5. How does it work?
Adults interested in earning a degree or professional certificate via the convenience of online learning enroll with The College Network and complete general education and elective courses at their own pace, testing out by taking equivalency exams such as CLEP®, DSST®, and Excelsior College® exams to earn college credit. They then enroll with the university, well prepared for the nature of online curriculum from their experience with independent study. You gain highly qualified students without incurring excess student acquisition costs.
6. Does The College Network have a sales staff?
The College Network has a national team of trained Program Advisors available to consult face-to-face with prospective university students to help them achieve their educational goals while maintaining their responsibilities to family and career.
7. What other value does The College Network offer?
The College Network offers highly customizable programs to meet the online learning needs and goals of our partner institutions. Our marketing efforts take your programs beyond local and regional recognition and present them to a national audience, while our instructional content and academic support prepare learners to succeed in your online programs.
8. Why distance learning?
Distance learning offers an opportunity to reach out and educate people who would not normally have access to your institution and to raise the university’s national brand awareness.
