Arcadia University has officially joined the esteemed global edX partner network, a leading online learning platform from 2U, Inc. (Nasdaq: TWOU). 

The partnership will revolutionize access to world-class education by introducing a brand-new online Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership program, set to launch in January 2024.

The cutting-edge EdD program, meticulously crafted under edX’s flexible degree model, is designed to cater to seasoned professionals within the education sector. 

Offering advanced research and practical skills, the program aims to equip educational leaders with the tools they need to thrive in the 21st Century. 

By focusing on building inclusive and equitable classrooms, the EdD will empower school administrators and teachers to take their careers to new heights.

Arcadia University will also introduce an unprecedented doctorate-level microcredential, designed to complement the EdD program. 

The series of stackable courses will cover topics such as instructional design and educational leadership, making it an ideal option for individuals seeking relevant skills to advance their careers. 

Notably, successful completion of the microcredential program will provide learners with academic credit toward the full online Arcadia EdD program upon admission and enrollment.

Dr. John Noakes, dean of the School of Education and associate provost at Arcadia University, expressed excitement about joining the edX partner network. 

He emphasized the university’s commitment to expanding access to education and helping educators create inclusive environments for effective learning.

Arcadia’s partnership with 2U has successfully delivered a hybrid version of the nationally ranked Doctor of Physical Therapy program since 2019, boasting 100 percent licensure test passage rate.

Andrew Hermalyn, president of partnerships at 2U, lauded Arcadia University’s visionary approach to education. He praised the strong partnership that has enabled the delivery of high-quality online learning experiences matching the rigor and reputation of Arcadia’s on-campus programs. 

The forthcoming EdD program is set to educate and empower teachers and administrators across the nation, preparing them for top leadership positions and ensuring every student’s success.

As anticipation builds, educators, professionals, and learners from all walks of life eagerly await the launch of the EdD program in 2024.
