A Message from Nana and Michael
We’re excited to announce the merger of McGraw-Hill and Cengage. This new global learning company will deliver superior experiences and greater value for students, educators, and professionals worldwide.
The combined company will help accelerate innovation and accessibility, offering seamless integration across our range of learning sciences, adaptive solutions, and learning tools – like McGraw-Hill’s ALEKS and Connect, and Cengage MindTap and WebAssign.
We will strengthen our commitment to offering more affordable options for college students in the U.S. Both Cengage and McGraw-Hill have a track record of pioneering new initiatives to provide value for money, including the Cengage Unlimited subscription and McGraw-Hill’s Inclusive Access program. Together, these programs have saved students more than $110 million in the academic year.
McGraw-Hill and Cengage have complementary missions, capabilities and talent. Together, we will be even better positioned to create new, locally impactful products that use leading educational technology to improve learning experiences and outcomes.
We look forward to this journey ahead and what we will be able to do for millions of learners, one student at a time.
