Campus Partnerships / Online Program Development

Online Program Development

online_progThe Office of Online & Professional Learning Resources (formerly UW Extended Campus) has been a leader in helping the UW System deliver Internet-based distance learning courses for more than 15 years. Our office partners with all 13 Universities of Wisconsin to provide program development, student recruitment and retention services, course design, media production, IT support, and marketing for online degree programs. We create these online collaborative degree programs in rapidly emerging 21st century career sectors such as Applied Computing, Data Science, Health Information Management and Technology, Sustainable Management, Healthcare Administration, and Health and Wellness Management. See our degree program listing for a complete list of our collaborative programs.

In 2013, we began working with institutions to offer competency-based degrees called the UW Flexible Option. With the launch of UW Flexible Option in 2014, the Universities of Wisconsin became the first public higher educational system to offer a competency-based education. Learn more at the UW Flexible Option website.
