Online MBA will be first program to launch.

Beacon Education, the world’s largest provider of online graduate degrees to China, is proud to announce its newest partner, Hawai’i Pacific University, with the launch of an innovative online MBA designed and optimized for Chinese working professionals.

The Chinese-language online MBA will extend HPU’s experience delivering professional graduate degrees with cutting edge content and instruction from world-class faculty across China’s massive working professional population. Delivered via Beacon’s comprehensive services and technology suite, the program will deploy with fully-localized recruitment, instruction, and retention services to ensure an best-in-class academic experience for Beacon’s corporate partners and professional learner networks in China.

“HPU is a leader in professional graduate programs and is expanding rapidly to meet the unique needs of these learners anywhere in the world. We are excited to partner with Beacon Education to extend that mission to those in need of degree-based upskilling across China,” said Jennifer Walsh, Provost.

“HPU is an ideal partner for us here at Beacon, CEO Michael Wang said. “The institution is leaning into innovative delivery models to meet learners where they are, and their experience with working professional programs was immediately obvious across our partners and channels around China. We are excited to build this program and grow a large portfolio for HPU in China as demand here far outstrips the available supply of degrees.”
