Apply to Reach
Paid work, a college degree, no student loan debt, and a path to a rewarding career.
Reach University Teachers College
Reach University offers apprenticeship degrees designed for adults working at least 15 hours per week in a classroom setting.
It’s both a higher education program and a career pathway. In other words, you’re not preparing for a career — you’re actually doing it while you’re learning it.
Reach is different from other colleges & universities
Efficiency
Half of the learning comes from what learners already do in their full-time job, which counts toward the degree/certification credit hours. Apprentices are able to work full-time while completing the program on a standard timeline. We also work with candidates to get prior credits transferred.
Flexibility
Online Oxford-style seminars are held after work hours on nights and weekends. More than 90% of apprentices surveyed report not having to miss work, travel far from home, or face challenges with childcare.
Relevance & Applicability
Our curriculum is 100% job-embedded, connecting theory with practice through rigorous coursework employing inquiry and dialogue in seminars and tutorials to achieve learning objectives. More than 90% of apprentices surveyed report that their coursework and on-the-job experiences prepared them for the responsibilities of the classroom.
Affordability
Candidates earn a salary, and affordable tuition enables apprentices to earn their credential, license, and/or degree without student debt. On average, Reach University requires $75 per month from candidates after scholarships and grants, and 100% of work-eligible apprentices have paid employment after completing the program.
Professional Capital
Applicants are recruited and nominated by our partner employers and ascend within their workplace to fill critical vacancies.
