What makes a good course?

Whether it’s in Public Health, Digital Marketing, Computer Science, or any of 25+ other subjects, the goal of any Rize-enabled course you offer to your students is always the same - engaging, relevant projects, teaching real-world skills for an industry with great jobs and opportunities.

"Making it exciting, making it relevant, making it interesting, so that you’re learning new skills, tackling problems, working with other people...

Real-World Courses

A “real-world course” is one that’s been designed with industry experts, designed to expose your students to the problems real companies are trying to solve right now.

It’s continually updated, and kept up-to-date through meaningful relationships. For us that meant...

  • Building Computer Science projects in collaboration with Google.
  • Including impactful credentials as part of regular coursework.
  • Emphasizing certification exam preparation directly in the course curriculum.
“When you’re in a course, it feels like the real world.”

Certifications

Hiring managers increasingly look for qualifications that go beyond a college degree. When your students take Rize-powered classes, they build impactful credentials as part of their regular coursework, including:

  • Unity Certifications in Game Development
  • Portfolios in Data Analytics
  • Certification exams prep in Certified Financial Planning
  • HubSpot & Google Analytics certifications in Digital Marketing

“I do get a great report - an attendance report, a progress report - every week from Rize that lands on my desk, and if there’s somebody who doesn’t have their homework or didn’t show up for class… it allows me to follow up directly, one-on-one with students.”
