The Office of Strategic Alliances & Partnerships initiative identifies and develops mutually beneficial relationships between the adult students of Eastern University and one or more external parties for the purpose of pursuing an agreed upon set of goals that will add value to both organizations. The objectives of the Strategic Alliances program are 1) to expand the reach of Eastern University programs and enrollment and 2) to collaborate in mutually beneficial projects. As such, agreements will typically include one or more Graduate or Adult Undergraduate programs.
