A whatever-it-takes approach to help students succeed.
The Hybrid College Network is a collection of nonprofits that recognize the typical college student has changed—and it’s time for college to change, too. That’s why we created a student-centered path to graduation, with flexibility and support built in—so that more people can earn the opportunities that come with a degree.

Outcomes
Students at the first hybrid college dramatically outperform their part-time peers in traditional colleges.
The Hybrid College Model
Four simple components that dramatically increase degrees—and the odds of getting a good job.
Digital, self-paced coursework built around students’ lives.
Students enroll in accredited online courses at accredited partner universities that give them credit for the skills they demonstrate in hands-on projects.
Affordable degree programs that reduce the need to take on risky debt.
We’re determined to make college available to every student, and a low price-tag is part of that promise.
Comprehensive coaching for every part of life—not just school.
Rather than ask students to build their lives around school, we tailor our offerings around their busy lives.
Programs connected to the local community and employers.
College degrees should lead to job offers, so we foster relationships with people looking to hire our graduates.
