Flexible schedule • Self-paced • Accredited by DEAC • Affordable
Traditional Education Is Broken
The truth is, the traditional college experience does not work for everyone. Tuition prices are through the roof. Student debt is at an all-time high. Plus there are 40 million people with some college but no degree to show for their work, only their student loan payments.
You don’t need another broken promise. You need a clear path to a real degree, a better job, and a better life — without sacrificing your life to earn it.
Unaffordable Tuition
College costs have increased 8x faster than wages, making it nearly impossible to afford without debt.
Inflexible Schedule
Traditional programs expect you to arrange your life around their schedule, not the other way around.
Demoralizing Credit Transfer Process
Universities today are incentivized to reject your transfer credits, forcing you to relearn stuff you already know.
What You're Probably Feeling Right Now
- I feel stuck. I'm working hard, but not getting ahead.
- I have credits from college and want them to mean something.
- I'm not sure who to trust — and don't want to waste your time.
- I've looked into online degrees, but worry they're not legit.
- My credits are from so long ago, they probably don't even count anymore.
- I don't feel like I have enough time to dedicate to classes.
- I'm beginning to wonder if it's "too late" or "too expensive".
- I want to go back to school, but I'm worried whether I can afford it.
- Am I even smart enough to go back? What if I struggle with a topic?
- My life is so busy, there is no way college can fit my schedule!
