They're catching on!

For years now CollegePlus! has blown the whistle on the inflated time frame students are forced into when attending a typical brick and mortar university.

University administration is finally waking up to reality since college graduation numbers are tanking and high school grads are less prepared for college studies than ever.

Due to the recent economic downturn, colleges are scrambling to come up with new solutions, "perhaps even shortening college from four years," according to a recent NY Times article "College May Become Unaffordable for Most in U.S."

This isn't the only voice calling for a revolutionary change to the current education system in the US. The state of New Hampshire is already toying with the idea of completely obliterating the last two years of high school in favor of sending juniors directly to college. Time education writer Kathleen Kingsbury reported on this recently in the article "Should Kids Be Able to Graduate After 10th Grade?"

So, a retooled high school and college experience isn't as far off the mark as many thought. CollegePlus! has pioneered this approach knowing that combining high school and college is the most effective way to help mature students academically and mentally. This is the best preparation for working in the real world.
