When you partner with us, we ensure educational options are flexible, affordable, and achievable. Our degree and certificate programs with the University of Mary Online are designed for busy, working adults. By partnering with the university, you provide opportunities for your employees to earn their degrees and provide a solid foundation for your business.

Tailored Educational Offerings

Choose from a variety of business and leadership topics, course types, and methods of delivery. We will work with you to design a standalone course or workshop or help you provide a custom training program that earns your participants credit—a great way to boost attendance.

Design Standalone Course or Workshop

Partner with us to offer training at one of our locations or at your office. We’ll work with you to design a course or workshop based on the needs of your organization, allowing you to invest in your employees, develop leaders, and demonstrate that you want to see your employees succeed.
