Noodle is a certified B Corp creating online and agile programs for US universities that elevate campus-wide teaching and technology. It is the country's fastest-growing online learning network.

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. On top of this, enrolments to date in Noodle-managed programs will produce $400M in lifetime revenue for its university partners.
