TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Bisk Education, one of the world's leading providers of professional education online, announced today that more than 185,000 students in more than 70 countries have enrolled in online education programs that it delivers on behalf of 14 of the nation's leading universities. These students represent more than 757,000 individual enrollments in courses from more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs and more than 100 professional certificate programs.
Bisk helps universities construct highly scalable online learning solutions, so they can expand their reach and advance their academic mission to students worldwide.
Founded in 1971 as a pioneer in the development, writing and production of audio, video and multimedia continuing education, Bisk started out offering exam preparation materials for Certified Public Accountant (CPA) candidates. In 1997, the company launched its University Alliance division, through which it facilitated a first-of-its-kind, instructor-led online MBA program.
"For over 40 years, Bisk Education has helped transform lives through innovative distance learning," says President Michael D. Bisk. "We've cultivated a dynamic online learning experience that fosters a sense of community. Students communicate with each other and interact with instructors. They aren't out there learning alone. We've given them tools for networking and exchanging ideas and information – a real support system."
Bisk facilitates online education for students ranging from those "going back" to college for the first time to students who already have degrees, but are seeking career changes or looking to gain new skills to stay current in their industries. The company also collaborates with universities to provide online education to employees in corporate training programs and individuals preparing for certification exams in disciplines such as Six Sigma and Project Management.
Bisk's e-learning technology supports corporate training needs with private customizable classrooms, where employees are granted the flexibility to work week-to-week on the curriculum and at the same time to make relevant ties to the real-world core processes of their employer.
