Florida National University and Open-Enrollment Service Ed4Online Join Forces

  • 09/05/14

MIAMI, FL — Florida National University (FNU) is announcing a partnership with Ed4Online, an educational resource that offers open enrollment online courses for enrichment, knowledge enhancement, and for certifications.

“As the world continues to progress, people will utilize the Internet in new ways. As the social media and marketing specialist at FNU, I believe it is crucial to understand the evolution of education. This partnership will further our ability to maintain relevancy in today’s society and in the coming years. Online learning is the future of education,” states Jose Alonso, speaking for FNU.

The partnership will enable FNU to offer students access to online, self-paced, open enrollment programs in a wide range of subjects. These programs deem particularly useful for students and professionals hoping to refresh their knowledge, gain a new set of skills to be used toward a career, and to gain a greater understanding of a subject.

“This style of learning is very up to date. Students can access course information such as curricula, learning materials, and more on any smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop, or any device that allows Internet access,” Alonso reveals. “This will be extremely useful for students who choose to continue their education using this service. It allows flexibility for adults wrestling with a tight schedule.”

This partnership will broaden FNU’s continuing education unit (CEU) offerings while increasing awareness of the institution. Although FNU currently offers online classes, this will allow FNU students access to a wide array of subjects that are not currently offered at the university, including writing and publishing, customer service, test preparation, coaching, and green energy. This partnership offers FNU students the opportunity to grow, learn, and gain greater education at their own pace, with the same flexibility offered by FNU’s online courses.

Ed4Online is an open enrollment CEU provider with over than 700 online courses in career training, professional and personal development, information technology, and behavioral health training. Ed4Online is committed to offering convenient, affordable online courses for students across the nation. Courses from Ed4Online are available on computers, smart phones, tablets, and any other device with Internet access; the mobility of their programs makes learning effective and efficient.

Florida National University is a regionally accredited higher learning institution founded in 1982. With three campuses in Miami, FNU awards a variety of degrees from associate, baccalaureate, and master programs. FNU also offers distance-learning opportunities for 22 degrees including an online Masters in Business Administration and in Health Services Administration.
