Our History
We believe higher education is more accessible when it’s affordable, flexible, deeply-supported, and career-connected.
From the Beginning
AdvanceEDU was started in 2020 by a group of education and business leaders in Colorado who shared a united vision for creating more opportunity and economic mobility. How? Well we start by collaborating with great universities who provide our students with access to their affordable and flexible degrees; we aim to keep costs low so that the vast majority of students can graduate debt-free. Then, we provide unparalleled support like personal success coaching, seminars, emergency grants, and access to free mental health services. Finally, we work with top Colorado companies to place our students in paid, degree-aligned career opportunities so that students are building their resume while earning a degree.
Since 2020, AdvanceEDU has grown to serve learners across Colorado and the country and has recently been a recipient of scale funding from the State of Colorado’s highly competitive Opportunity Now grant program along with over 30 partners.
We believe higher education is more accessible when it’s affordable, accessible, deeply-supported, and career-connected. That’s why we exist. That’s AdvanceEDU.
