2U strives to create the world's best online programs through partnerships with top-tier colleges and universities. The company was established in 2008 by a small group of educators with the goal to build online degree programs that could compete with traditional, face-to-face college educations. 2U embraces technology and continues to evolve in the face of rapidly changing educational landscapes. The company is based in Landover, Maryland.

2U's "No Back Row" philosophy creates a work environment where all voices are heard and everyone feels that their ideas count. This philosophy also translates to a high-energy atmosphere that is challenging, exciting, and fun. Flexible job opportunities offered by 2U in the past have included part-time and full-time, temporary and remote jobs. In addition to opportunities to participate in team and company events, including spontaneous dance parties and unlimited snacks and drinks, the company offers eligible team members health coverage, paid parental leave, a 401(k) plan, and tuition reimbursement.

2U employs a cloud-based, Software-as-a-Service platform that allows college and university partners to engage and educate students around the world. Students can enroll in live, online classes with real-world experiences and dynamic course content. 2U developers work with university partners to create course material that is interactive and engaging, with components such as video, lectures, and quizzes. The company also provides comprehensive technical and advising support for both university faculty and students, and its partners include Georgetown University, New York University, Northwestern, Berkeley School of Information, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Kenan-Flagler Business School, and the Yale School of Medicine, to name a few.
