What Our Partners Have to Say

"Here at Adrian, we've been able to maintain the traditional college experience, including the value of a liberal arts education, by transitioning to a hybrid model through our partnership with Rize, which we consider the College of the Future. With Rize, we are creating both a better business model and a better educational experience that will guide us into the future."
Dr. Jeffrey Docking
President of Adrian College
"An important part of bringing Rize to our campus was the collaborative interactions that I have developed with our faculty and making sure they were in the conversations... It took some of them by surprise because they're used to one program taking years to build. Within 10 months of first hearing about Rize, we had 5 programs approved. Each of these new programs maintained ~85% of instruction face-to-face with ~15% powered by the Rize platform."
Dr. Laurel Bongiorno
Vice President For Academic Affairs and Provost,
Hartwick College
"That's working with Rize. They were really helpful in helping us think through what Rize programs might look like on our campus. Even if they don't have any other schools that they work with that have this exact model, they weren't afraid to explore different options, and for it to look a little bit different."
Dr. Stephen Baldridge
Dean of the College of Humanities and Sciences,
University of Mary Hardin-Baylor
"Rize has been a great opportunity because now we can leverage and add new courses without needing to expand our costs. We can have the foundation taught in house by our faculty, and we can also add these very major specific classes through Rize.”
Dr. Viktor Khanzhyn
Assistant Professor of Economics,
Nebraska Wesleyan University
"Their team not only provides the data we need to make strong program offering decisions, but also the support we need once these programs are implemented to ensure our students are successful. [With Rize], we can maintain the strong level of engagement that we do with our face-to-face students."
Dr. Kristi Ringen
Dean of Business,
Holy Family University
"I’m really pleased with the quality; they’re not just throwing online classes up there but they are putting in the support and integrity that holds up to Belhaven’s standards."
Dr. Roger Parrot
President of Belhaven University
"It is not like a typical online training class… instead I have a one-on-one contact with the professor delivering the courses, so I’ve got a very high degree of confidence both about the quality of material and the instructors that are delivering it."
Bjarne Berg
Professor and Program Director,
Lenoir-Rhyne University
"If we were to have attempted to launch a program like this on our own, in Cybersecurity, I would say a minimum of 2-3 years… and [Rize] allowed us to do this instantly."
Pamela Buchanan-Miller
Vice President for Academic Affairs,
University of Mobile
