Online learning company 2U plans to refocus its business around edX, the former rival it purchased last year for $800 million.

The combined company will keep its free offerings and offer more university degrees online to benefit international students and nontraditional American learners, the founders said.

The online course platform EdX, founded by MIT and Harvard in 2012, is set to become 2U's public benefit arm.
