# A 100 Million Learner Network. One Shared Purpose.

#### Our learner network now reaches more than 100 million people worldwide. Behind that number are real stories—of professionals rebuilding their careers, parents learning late at night, first-generation students, and lifelong learners choosing growth in moments of change.

One learner’s story can change how you see the world. We’ve shared hundreds of them.

[A working mother earning a credential late at night after her kids fall asleep. ](https://2u.com/newsroom/verizon-edx-finding-her-future-tech-forward-career/)

[A first-generation learner earning a degree no one in their family has before. ](https://2u.com/newsroom/overcoming-imposter-syndrome-first-generation-college-student-and-single-mom/)

[A cancer survivor turning to learning as a way to reclaim momentum and purpose. ](https://2u.com/newsroom/bringing-learners-back-how-vanderbilts-peabody-college-online-programs-unlock-new-possibilities/)

[A career pivoter refusing to let disruption define their future.](https://2u.com/newsroom/from-stage-to-classroom-how-pepperdines-online-mat-helped-mallery-pivot-her-career-without-pressing-pause-on-life/)

Over more than a decade, these stories have led to a milestone we’re proud of: reaching more than 100 million people worldwide.

It’s a powerful number, one that represents over 100 million decisions to show up and create a better future. To learn something new. To change direction. To start again. To bet on possibility.

**Why this moment matters**

The world of work has changed.

Careers are no longer linear. Technology is reshaping entire industries. AI is redefining what skills matter—and how quickly they evolve.

In the middle of all this change, education has become a lifeline. Not a “nice to have,” but a necessity. Learning is how people stay relevant, open doors, and build stability for themselves and their families.

Across our global learner network, we see people reskilling, rebuilding, and reaching for more. They are choosing education as the most powerful tool they have to shape their future.

**Scale with purpose**

At 2U, scale only matters if it creates opportunity.

Our mission—to make learning limitless—is about removing the barriers that have historically kept education out of reach and opening pathways that move people forward.

We do this through edX, our global learning platform. Together with our partners, we’re building edX into the premier destination for online learning—where education fits real lives, aligns with real workforce needs, and leads to real outcomes.

Reaching more than 100 million people across our learner network tells us something important: when education is flexible, relevant, and accessible, people show up and take action to change their lives.

**Momentum, with meaning**

This milestone also reflects the momentum we’re building as a company.

With strong university and enterprise partnerships, continued investment in edX, and a clear strategic vision, we’re focused on what matters most: delivering high-quality education at global scale.

We’re expanding access, strengthening outcomes, and building a platform designed to serve learners today—and for decades to come.
