1. UCLA and AllCampus Partner to Launch Online Master of Healthcare Administration Program

   December 16, 2020

   Chicago (December 16, 2020) –– AllCampus, which partners with leading, traditional higher education institutions to grow online enrollment and maximize market share, today announced a new partnership with the University of California, Los Angeles to help launch its online Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) program in June 2021. The agreement marks the first time that UCLA has partnered with an online program manager (OPM), meaning AllCampus will play a critical advisory role through digital marketing and student recruitment and enrollment processes for the new graduate degree program.

   “Our online MHA program will provide busy professionals with flexible education options at a time when top-notch talent is in high demand in the healthcare management field,” said Professor Leah Vriesman, Executive Director of Executive Programs in Health Policy and Management at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. “AllCampus is the right partner for our 2021 program launch because of its history of program success and high service levels with other premier colleges and universities, while doing so at a very reasonable and sustainable cost.”

   Through the partnership, AllCampus will provide the UCLA Master of Healthcare Administration program with its full suite of offerings, including student recruitment, enrollment, coaching and retention; market research and advertising; corporate partnerships, including over 400 companies that employ more than 20 million people; and creative services. Before signing the agreement, AllCampus provided research and consulting services to help UCLA identify a good match of the potential curriculum to market demand, resulting in the new online program launching as an MHA instead of a Master of Public Health. AllCampus also played a key partner role in advising the MHA team through UCLA’s new program proposal process, and was able to bring in the right instructional design firm, iDesign, that has experience building world-class online courses to deliver the high standards that UCLA and its students expect.

   “We’re thrilled to partner with UCLA and help the university launch its online MHA program,” said Joe Diamond, CEO of AllCampus. “As the demand for online education continues to increase due to current COVID-19 challenges and the future’s demand for flexible access to the top U.S. public university, AllCampus’s low revenue share model ensures that no money is wasted and our focus remains on the most important part of higher education: the students.”

   AllCampus’s agreement with UCLA marks a year of significant growth and continued momentum for the company, as it projects an increase of 56% in programs with new and existing partners by the end of 2021.

   April 11, 2019

   CHICAGO (April 11, 2019) – AllCampus has achieved the #32 ranking on the 2019 Crain’s Chicago Business “Best Places to Work” list and garnered the #19 ranking in the small companies category. This is the second year in a row that Crain’s has recognized AllCampus for excellence in creating a quality workplace for its employees.

   Founded in 2012, AllCampus is a fast-growing online program management (OPM) provider that serves leading universities and students. Crain’s popular Best Places to Work ranking evaluates Chicago-area companies based on confidential employee reviews and an independent assessment of policies and practices.

   “AllCampus is home to an exceptionally talented, hard-working and growing team of professionals with higher education expertise that our clients depend upon for long-range successful partnerships,” said AllCampus CEO Joe Diamond. “Providing a positive work environment is a top priority both because we care about the well-being of our employees and because we know that having employees who love where they work and what they’re doing is the best way to reliably exceed our clients’ expectations.”

   Last year, AllCampus expanded employee work-life benefits including paid family leave, flextime, telecommuting, paid time off for volunteering and reimbursement for professional development. This year, the company moved to the 29th floor of the Ogilvie Transportation Center, one of Chicago’s premier office buildings, and doubled the size of its headquarters to 18,000 square feet.

   AllCampus helps traditional universities efficiently and effectively manage online master’s and bachelor’s degrees and certificate and continuing education programs. Its OPM services include integrated marketing, research, customer relationship management solutions, corporate partnerships, technology solutions, curriculum development, enrollment, recruitment, and retention. It’s often challenging for universities to find the resources, develop the expertise, and build the capacity to do this work in-house.

   The company’s recent office expansion supports its accelerating growth. In the past 24 months, AllCampus has welcomed 20 universities as new partners or clients, expanded its relationships with six universities, and added 42 programs to its lineup of nearly 70 online and hybrid degree, certificate and continuing education programs. To accommodate this growth, AllCampus has nearly doubled the number of employees in the past year to more than 80.

   The new headquarters, in addition to offering abundant natural light and expansive views, combines assigned work stations and offices with lounge, privacy, quiet, and collaborative work areas. “We’re thrilled to provide employees with a modern, versatile office design that increases communication, collaboration, creativity and productivity and reduces stress,” said Heather Shulick, executive vice president of human resources. “With our warm and friendly company culture, amazing clients, comprehensive benefits, modern perks, and top-notch new office space, we think AllCampus is a total package for employees.”

6. Partnership Between University of Delaware and AllCampus Helps Bridge Data Analytics Skills Gap

   October 10, 2017

   Partnership Between University of Delaware and AllCampus Helps Bridge Data Analytics Skills Gap

   CHICAGO — The University of Delaware and AllCampus have partnered to address increasing employer demand for skilled data professionals as well as growing interest among recent graduates and working professionals for advanced data science skills. AllCampus, a leading provider of online program management services, is helping UD launch and realize full market potential for its new online Master of Science in Applied Statistics degree.

   To support the launch and growth of the online MS in Applied Statistics, AllCampus is providing services including creative, recruitment, enrollment and retention. “Teaming up with AllCampus enables the university to extend the reach of our graduate programs in the Department of Applied Economics and Statistics (APEC) and help students become qualified candidates for the growing number of positions in data,” says Thomas Ilvento, Ph.D., chair of University of Delaware’s APEC.

   The rigorous curriculum, developed by faculty and data professionals from leading organizations, is delivered in a flexible online format, enabling students to acquire the skills they need to enter or advance in the field without disrupting their careers and incurring relocation costs.

   The projected growth rate of job demand for statisticians between 2014 and 2024 is 34 percent, according the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Market intelligence firm, International Data Corporation, estimates that by 2018 employers in the United States will need 181,000 people with deep analytical skills and 905,000 people with data management and interpretation capabilities.

   UD’s case study-based approach to learning and free access to SAS software, a widely-used tool by organizations to mine, modify, manage and analyze data sets that may be very large and complex, provides students with experiential training and excellent preparation for well-paying jobs in data. The median annual wage for statisticians in 2016 was $80,500, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

   “AllCampus is honored to partner with the University of Delaware in this endeavor. As marketing data experts, ourselves, this is a particularly gratifying program for us to support. We employ many of the same analytics skills to manage our business every day,” says Joe Diamond, CEO of AllCampus.

   “Among the ways that we’ll bolster the success of UD’s online MS in Applied Statistics offering is through our proprietary analytics platform,” he adds. “Real-time statistics provide AllCampus with deep conversion metrics and enrollment projections that enable us to optimize every marketing campaign and fine-tune our enrollment services for our university partners.”
