2U

2U, Inc. is an education technology company, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Lanham, Maryland, that partners with the world's top universities and companies to develop and deliver online education programs — from free open courses to bootcamps, certificates, and credit-bearing master's degrees. In 2021 2U acquired edX, which it operates as its global online learning platform and primary consumer brand, offering thousands of courses across subjects such as artificial intelligence, data science, public health, and business. This profile was seeded from a Bessemer Venture Partners portfolio-linked lead and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline. 2U publishes no first-party developer API on its corporate domain (2u.com); its programmatic and integration surfaces live under the edX / Open edX learning platform, and its engineering work is visible in the 2uinc GitHub organization.

2U is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Education, EdTech, and Online Learning.

2U’s developer surface includes support and 6 more developer resources.
