CU makes completing your bachelor's degree accessible and possible, providing adult learners with the ability to work and enroll full-time. Students participate in online courses as well as an in-person, once-a-week evening meeting where they engage with a faculty advisor, guest speakers, peers, and exhibitions. Our 83% graduation rate shows that this type of personalized, relevant curriculum works best for this niche community of adult learners. College Unbound is committed to:• Deeply personalized education that fosters intellectual curiosity and improves the life of the student and the lives of those they touch.• Pedagogy that honors the individual and demonstration of competencies over seat-time.• Leadership in innovative practices that disrupt conventional higher education.
