ORLANDO, Fla. (March 18, 2025) – Boundless Learning, a leading education solutions provider, today announced a new partnership with Xavier University to expand access to flexible online programs for learners entering or advancing in two high-demand fields.

Beginning in Fall 2026, the partnership will support Xavier University’s established Criminal Justice and Nursing programs, focusing on advancing enrollment performance and enhancing the student experience within these disciplines. As the partnership evolves, Xavier University and Boundless Learning will explore additional areas of collaboration aligned with the University’s academic priorities.

“Boundless Learning and Xavier University share a commitment to delivering rigorous, accessible programs that prepare learners for meaningful careers,” said Joshua Richards, CEO of Boundless Learning. “By combining Xavier’s academic excellence with our expertise in building, optimizing, and operating world-class academic experiences, we can expand access while preserving the quality and integrity that define the Xavier experience.”

Drawing on more than 30 years of experience and the expertise of its cross-functional teams, Boundless Learning will provide program marketing, enrollment management, student support, and technology solutions in support of these programs. The partnership will enable Xavier to reach broader audiences of learners while further strengthening the overall program experience.
