Acadeum

Acadeum is a course-sharing platform that enables colleges and universities to expand their academic offerings and support student progress. Founded in 2016, the company's technology allows institutions to share online courses and resources across national and regional networks. As of January 2024, Acadeum's network includes more than 460 higher education institutions in the US. The platform helps colleges broaden access to courses students need, keeping them on track for timely graduation while also generating new revenue streams for institutions.

Acadeum's core service allows home colleges to pay for their students to take online courses from teaching institutions within the network. This model helps fill empty seats in courses at teaching institutions while providing students at home colleges access to classes they might not otherwise be able to take. The company's technology facilitates seamless course sharing across individual colleges as well as consortia like the Council of Independent Colleges Online Course Sharing Consortium and the Southern Regional Education Board's HBCU-MSI Course-Sharing Consortium.

In January 2024, Acadeum launched Skills Marketplace, a new product offering access to over 380 online workforce-aligned credentials. This expansion allows institutions to offer non-credit courses and credentials to current students, alumni, faculty, staff, and local employer partners. The Skills Marketplace includes offerings from providers such as MedCerts, Coursera, Pearson Certiport, and Muzzy Lane.

Acadeum's platform is designed to help institutions improve retention and completion rates, launch new programs, and attract new learners with workforce-aligned curricula. As of October 2021, more than 28,000 students across over 500 institutions had completed courses through the Acadeum network. The company positions its services as a way for colleges to adapt to changing student needs and expectations, particularly for non-traditional and working students seeking flexible degree pathways.
