About Noodle Partners

Online education is no longer a novel or niche idea. It is the fastest growing segment in higher education, accounting for 20% of all enrollees and 35% of graduate-level certificates and degrees. It’s also getting increasingly competitive, as more and better programs are launched each semester. Universities need to go online quickly, economically and elegantly, creating programs that students can’t wait to tell their friends about and that their professors want to teach. 

Noodle Partners helps universities bring programs online with flexibility, transparency, alignment, efficiency, and joy. That’s why more top universities chose us last year than all other online program managers combined.

We are a passionate team of technologists, educators, and random experts. We know that online learning has the potential to transform higher education. If you’re a fellow traveler, come join us!

Noodle Partners performs because we work well together. We do everything we can to keep the “jerks” out, and we’ve been successful at that. We believe in candor, collaboration, and respect for one another. We also believe in winning.

• You’ll also work with your colleagues across the business to enhance our product, service and overall our ability to expand access to and decrease the cost of higher education
