Beacon Education Expands its Collaboration with Illinois Institute of Technology

B Beacon Education, China's largest online degree provider, has expanded its collaboration with Illinois Institute of Technology by launching a Chinese-language online MBA programme. The novel degree will be offered by the Stuart School of Business and will help to meet China's rapidly increasing demand for degree-based upskilling and development.

According to media reports, while the Stuart School of Business will provide the MBA degree, Beacon's comprehensive services suite and technology stack will continue to provide fully localised capabilities to Illinois Tech.

We will provide marketing, recruitment, translation, a learning environment, retention, and student support, said a source from Beacon Education. The arrangement allows the university to focus on providing the high-quality content and instruction for which it is known, while Beacon handles the details, the source added.
