The partnership focuses on online program support
Wiley Education Services, a division of Wiley that provides tailored services and technology solutions to higher education institutions, and the University of Kentucky are pleased to announce they have entered into a partnership to offer the College of Social Work’s Master of Social Work online, launching in Fall 2019.
Online teaching and learning
The partnership has its roots in University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto’s ambitious agenda to enhance the University’s profile as the state’s land-grant and flagship research university. Offering its programs online is part of his plan to focus on creating opportunities for innovation in teaching and learning, cultivating research and creative scholarship, empowering communities through service and outreach, and engaging in a shared dialogue about institutional priorities.
Further, the partnership supports the University’s College of Social Work and its goal to provide superior education and increase its accessibility
Wiley will provide services in market strategy, program design and development, marketing and brand management, and student recruitment and retention for an initial contract period of seven years.
Matt Hillman, Co-President of Wiley Education Services stated, “The aims of the University and the College of Social Work align with our mission of driving student success and institutional growth. Together University of Kentucky and Wiley are helping to deliver much-needed skilled talent to the social services field.”
“We are thrilled to bring our Master of Social Work to the online format, which will ultimately help us serve more individuals, families, and communities in need of high-quality social services,” said Ann Vail, Ph.D., Interim Dean of the College of Social Work. “This significantly affects the residents of Kentucky as well as areas of the country where our students and graduates will be practicing.”
