Beacon Education, China’s largest provider of online graduate degrees, has expanded its cooperation with Hawaii Pacific University by introducing two new Chinese-language online degrees tailored and optimized for working professionals in China. The M.S. in Artificial Intelligence and M.A. in Psychology programmes will expand on the fast success of HPU’s initial online MBA degree to provide a more comprehensive portfolio of programmes to corporate partners throughout China.
Beacon’s services and technology suite will continue to provide fully localized capabilities for HPU, including marketing, recruitment, instructional design, translation, delivery, technology, and student support. This will allow HPU to focus on its effective teaching and learning model, rapidly scaling to teach and support talented Chinese learners.
Jennifer Walsh, Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Chief Strategy Officer, shared about expanding this collaboration:
HPU is proud to expand our partnership with Beacon Education into these new fields, allowing us to deliver a broader degree portfolio to Chinese working professional learners. Beacon has been a great partner, allowing HPU to focus on providing our world-class programs to new cohorts of adult learners. We look forward to growing our partnership further in the coming years.
Beacon Education, founded in 2018, has worked with targeted universities worldwide to directly bring high-quality educational degrees, programmes, and resources to China. The platform provides a comprehensive suite of technology and services to its partners, including robust applicant marketing, acquisition, and nurturing services, a proprietary teaching and learning solution with synchronous and asynchronous program delivery options, and in-country academic and student support teams, all of which optimize the connection of global educators with Chinese learners.
Michael Wang, CEO of Beacon Education, added:
We are highly impressed by HPU’s commitment to working with professional learners around the globe. Their experience delivering high-quality online degrees has created genuine enthusiasm among our channels and partners, and there is already demand to continue expanding our partnership. We look forward to even more rapid growth in the future.
