Pearson Online Program Management Services
Flourishing online programs, thriving online learners
Pearson can help you accelerate online program growth and improve student success — so you can widen your impact, and help more learners flourish.
We’ve been successfully delivering Online Program Management (OPM) services longer than anyone. We help our partners build high-value online programs to serve compelling needs, and strengthen their national brands to enroll more of the right students, wherever they live. Once learners enroll, our personal coaching, tutoring, and support services help guide them to graduation and career success.
Together, we can customize a financial model that serves your programs and matches your risk tolerance — whether it’s revenue share, fee for service, or a hybrid co-investment approach.
Learn how you can grow enrollments, retention, completion, and employability, as you build academically strong online programs that transform lives.
