Higher Education

Pearson is a company with a strong sense of purpose, focusing on three key issues of social and economic importance: literacy, efficacy, and competitiveness. We aim to make a measurable difference to learning outcomes for students and educators, and our rigorous research methods — both in-house and independently conducted — provide solid evidence that our products, programs, and services are helping to enhance and further academic achievement. Building and maintaining trust is at the core of our business. By providing substantive, verifiable studies reflecting the effectiveness of our preK-12, higher education, and assessment programs, we are able to shine a spotlight on the deep connection between our commitment to excellence and demonstrated student success.

Pearson’s award-winning higher education online learning programs have been proven effective at increasing access to learning opportunities, improving student performance and lowering costs for both institutions and students. We sponsor and conduct research about current and future learning trends, including students’ perceptions of tablets and other mobile devices; faculty use of social media; and the first-ever national survey of community college students.
