"We're pleased to continue working with the university, building on our previous success to increase student access to quality, affordable learning."

Cengage Unlimited offers students access to more than 22,000 products across 70 disciplines and 675 courses?for one price, no matter how many Cengage materials they use.

University of the Southwest students will receive access to a Cengage Unlimited subscription on the first day of class through the University's learning management system.
