Families want affordable, shorter college degrees
89% of families across the U.S. strive to reduce the cost of a future college degree, and 60% want to reduce the time to a bachelor’s.
So why do we still have 4 years of high school followed by 4 years of college? There is a better way.
Is traditional college still worth it?
Four to six years of tuition, living expenses, missed earnings, and loans. That’s a heavy lift.
There is a better path.
Dual Academy cuts most of it out. Earn college credit in high school. Finish a bachelor’s in just one more year.
