Partner University Information


We've partnered with universities to save you 80% off the tuition of an accredited degree. We are a degree completion program that chooses the university first, then we work backwards to ensure that every class is approved before you take it.

You will not be collecting dual enrollment credits and hoping they transfer. Instead, you will receive the best classes and the most affordable and efficient classes for earning a quality education at a fraction of the price.
