SAME DEGREE, NEW APPROACH

An accredited college degree

With Apprenticeship Degrees, the workplace transforms into a learning place, with half of the learning coming from on-the-job training. Coursework empowers apprentices to apply today's newly acquired skills to tomorrow's jobs. 

Professors and workplace mentors collaborate, ensuring a seamless blend of theoretical understanding and practical exposure, while students earn a paycheck, build their resumes, and graduate debt-free.

The Apprenticeship Degree is changing lives

Job-embedded learning / job-embedded training is the best thing ever. You're going to use my job and its hours towards my student teaching. I'm getting credit for my degree. This is how it should be. And I'm getting paid!
Towanna Edwards Reach University Candidate
Helena, AR
My kids are very proud of me for fulfilling my dreams from before and becoming a teacher. I feel like I have accomplished a lot in my life. It's made me realize that I can do what I set out to do. And anybody can — if you want to do it, you can do it.
Carla Haney Reach University Graduate
Maynard, A
At first, I had second thoughts, because it was online and we were just getting used to doing the online thing. I didn't know how I was going to do, because it’s not the same as face-to-face, but it has been great.
Leslie De Leon Reach University Candidate

It's as easy as A, B, C
