Rize Education

Founded in 2019, we partner with the Lower Cost Models Consortium (LCMC) to provide an online program-sharing platform. This platform helps small colleges and universities introduce new degree programs, minors, and certificates to grow enrollment and reduce institutional costs.

We offer services including instructional design, enrollment consulting, student success and retention, and career readiness. We help institutions launch new career-focused academic programs, refresh existing ones with up-to-date industry courses, and support flexible, hybrid program delivery. Our programs are designed to meet workforce needs, focusing on fields with strong job growth and salaries.

We work with over 125 schools across more than 35 states. Our career readiness initiatives include curriculum review by a national committee of over 150 academic and industry professionals. We integrate professional certificates like Google’s Digital Marketing Certificate and offer career navigation courses covering topics like career exploration, salary expectations, resume writing, networking, and interviewing.

Our guiding principles are:

• Intellectual Curiosity: A commitment to continuous learning and teaching.
• Empathy: We treat partners as an extension of our team.
• Trustworthiness: We build relationships with partners and students without taking shortcuts.
• Accountability: Everyone takes ownership of their work and the company’s work.

Our team of over 60 individuals is humble, ambitious, and scrappy, united by a belief in the transformative power of higher education. Team members come from diverse backgrounds, including college athletes, Jeopardy! participants, Ivy Leaguers, and those who worked their way through community college.
