Why the UDT Program is of Value
The Universal Digital Textbooks (UDT) Program meets the unique needs of today's Distance Learners; from those trying to finish their first degree, to others who just want to reach the next rung of the ladder. Whether it is pricing, convenience, or preference – the UDT program gives you the ability to offer electronic textbooks and course materials on-demand, at lower prices, and packed full of interactive study tools.
Since the Program was pioneered by MBS, the leader in direct-to-student textbook delivery, it’s also highly flexible. For your program, we’ll set up an online school-branded store for ordering eBooks, as well as any physical textbooks or materials. Students can pay with a credit card or financial aid, and all materials are delivered directly to their home. And having done this for several years, you can be guaranteed that MBS will make it seamless.
How UDT Benefits Your Program
The UDT program is a one-stop resource for eBooks and custom electronic course materials for any course, department, or program. Here are just a few of the ways the UDT program can extend the value of your Distance Learning Program.
Grow Your Program
With the UDT Program, you can
accept enrollments through the first day of class – and students can have
materials the same day. With downloadable eBooks and course materials, you can
market your program to students for a longer period of time, and give
late-enrolling students more opportunities to join your program.
Keep Your Program Competitive

programs throughout the country are offering eBooks as a way to attract students
by catering to their need for convenient and cost-effective textbook options.
With the UDT Program, you can focus more on education, while letting MBS handle
the management and delivery of textbooks and course materials.
Be Recognized as Adding Value

time, money, and convenience, while remaining proactive at finding solutions.
