UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School Launches New Online Certificate Program with the Help of TopSchool
TopSchool Provides Flexible Technology to Manage Student Information
Denver, CO - May 27, 2009 - TopSchool, a
leading SaaS provider of administrative solutions for higher
education institutions, was selected by the University of North
Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School to help launch a new
online certificate program - UNC Business Essentials. This online
certificate program is aimed at teaching critical business skills
to recent non-business major graduates and professionals.
TopSchool's Student Lifecycle Management (SLM) system enables UNC
Kenan-Flagler to reach new students via an online format with no
residential requirement, and the program can be completed within
the student's timeframe.
"With the launch of UNC Business Essentials, we were focused on
rapidly introducing a program that meets emerging market demands,"
said Susan Cates, president and associate dean of executive
development at UNC Kenan-Flagler. "TopSchool's flexibility and ease
of implementation were key to our ability to launch our new program
so quickly."
TopSchool's comprehensive, next generation solution allows UNC
Kenan-Flagler to gather and manage data for UNC Business
Essentials. The system, which is delivered in a
Software-as-a-Service model, provides the portal for prospective
students to learn about the program, the CRM to manage prospects
through admission, and the student information system to track and
manage students through program completion. The online program
delivery is powered through Agilix, a next-generation hosted
e-Learning platform, which is integrated with TopSchool to provide
seamless management of student information.
"Kenan-Flagler is an innovative business school, and we commend
its focus on providing the best possible student support throughout
the entire educational process," said Matthew Schnittman, president
and CEO of TopSchool. "We are excited about this partnership - not
only will students benefit from the newest technologies, but
Kenan-Flagler has the capacity to leverage more accessible data to
efficiently deliver new online courses."
