Its highly-rated online programs are collaborative, engaging, and supportive, fostering a vibrant community of students and faculty that frequently engage, discuss and share ideas.
The company has experienced several years of tremendous growth; it has signed more degree programs with elite schools than any of its competitors combined. Enrollments to date in Noodle-managed programs will produce $400M in lifetime revenue for its university partners.
Noodle is continuing to activate hyper-growth for its university partners by investing in acquisitions and innovation that help it to keep marketing and student support costs low.
