Case Study: North Carolina Central University achieves rapid launch of two online programs in six months with Anthology

How North Carolina Central University launched two online programs within six months

North Carolina Central University faced an urgent challenge to launch a fully online MBA and a seven-course online certificate in Regulatory Sciences on an accelerated timeline, with only two instructional designers on staff. To meet the provost’s deadline and support faculty inexperienced in online course design, NCCU engaged Anthology’s Course Design and Development Services for instructional design, faculty training, and course development support.

Anthology’s team assessed existing courses, created a consistent course template, ran faculty workshops, and supported design and development work; the vendor helped faculty complete 12 courses on time and delivered all seven Regulatory Sciences courses within six months. The fast turnaround enabled the certificate to be offered to Research Triangle Park employees (with employer tuition remission), increased MBA enrollment and revenue, and led NCCU to contract Anthology for additional phases that expanded development to 24 new courses.
