“We mean it when we say we’re the Right Place on the River for every student,” said President Susan R. Burns, Ph.D. “Education has been, and always will be, at the center of the Mount’s mission—and this exciting new cooperation with AP allows us to expand our commitment to how we meet learners when and where they need us by diversifying the modalities in which we offer our academically excellent programs.”
AP, a leading online facilitator focused primarily on adult learners, is a partner to approximately 55 universities, primarily regional universities, across North America. AP’s mission of expanding access to top-quality, affordable and workforce relevant education makes it an excellent fit with the College.
And the collaboration is not one-sided—Mount Saint Vincent and its faculty will ensure academic quality by managing all aspects of teaching, curriculum, and course content, while AP will assist with prospective student outreach and will work collaboratively in a consultative role with faculty to help convert their courses to an online format.
Plenty of colleges and universities help their students succeed, but the best colleges are the ones that truly transform the lives of their graduates. Studies and rankings consistently recognize Mount Saint Vincent among the best for its commitment to extraordinary student success.
