In this episode we are talking about a hot topic: OPMs, or online program management companies, and what they provide to universities. ​​California Lutheran University partnered with an OPM, AllCampus, to launch 12 new online graduate and undergraduate programs, aimed at expanding access to flexible, affordable higher education. This strategic collaboration focuses on enhancing online offerings with support in instructional design, student services, and technology from a private company.  This partnership is led by Tom Hoener, Associate Vice President, Enrollment Management at Cal Lutheran, and he joins me now to share his insights.
