FACT SHEET: ED Launches Initiative for Low-Income Students to Access New Generation Of Higher Education Providers | U.S. Department of Education
"Thomas Edison State University plans to partner with Study.com to offer a bachelor of science in Business Administration and a bachelor of arts in Liberal Studies through online, self-paced video courses. In these programs, at least half of their coursework will be completed by taking Study.com courses. As a correspondence program, students will complete the courses they need at their own pace. Quality Matters (QM), which has served for over a decade as a quality assurance provider, will be the program's quality assurance entity. It will apply and adapt its Online Learner Success quality assurance framework to address the program's specific questions and assess the extent to which the program improves student outcomes such as credits earned, completion of the degree, cost compared to national benchmarks, and student satisfaction."

"The Educational Quality through Innovation Partnerships (EQUIP) program is designed to allow students, particularly low-income students, to access federal student aid for the first time to enroll in programs offered by non-traditional training providers, in partnership with colleges and universities. The Education Department unveiled the program today."
