Wiley to provide support for existing and new online offerings

HOBOKEN, N.J., March 21, 2019—Michigan State University has entered into a partnership agreement with Wiley University Services, a division of Wiley (NYSE:JWa) (NYSE:JWb), to support a set of existing and new online programs as well as a certificate, leveraging market research, marketing, recruitment, and student support services. The preliminary set of two existing online programs, the master’s in Criminal Justice and master’s in Law Enforcement Intelligence and Analysis, is set to launch in September 2019. A third offering will be added in the autumn of 2020. The initial contract length is for eight years.

Although the university already possesses internal program development and design capabilities, it sought a partner to help expand its overall portfolio of online offerings. In addition, the School of Criminal Justice has specific goals and wanted a partner with the marketing expertise and recruitment capacity to grow existing programs, launch new programs, and highlight the brand and reputation of the School, whose criminal justice program was ranked #10 in the nation in U.S. News and World Report’s 2019 report.

“Our partnership with Wiley University Services will help us strengthen and expand our online presence across the university,” said Mary Finn, director and professor in the School of Criminal Justice at Michigan State University. “We feel confident in the quality of our online offerings and want to ensure that students from around the world can access them and feel valued and supported throughout their time at Michigan State University, from their very first interactions to graduation. With Wiley’s support, we believe this will be possible.”

“Michigan State University is a tier-one research university, with a School of Criminal Justice that is recognized for leadership in its field,” said Matt Hillman, co-president, Wiley University Services. “With our additional support of these high-demand online programs, we can help the university prepare more individuals with the experiences and skills they need to successfully address emerging risks and ongoing challenges in criminal justice and law enforcement. We also look forward to discussing additional opportunities for program growth across the university over the next eight years.”
