Program Overview

Recognizing the potential dangers, expense, and lack of efficiency in the traditional model for higher education, CollegePlus! merges an innovative independent study and credit by exam program with an unparalleled individualized coaching system to deliver fully accredited bachelor's degrees in a fraction of the time and cost with superior quality!

With the CollegePlus! coaching system, students will experience a college program specifically tailored to their learning objectives and build a network of relationships with coaches, experts in their area of study, and other likeminded students. Coaches will guide students through the learning process with detailed instruction and one-on-one contact. In addition to being academic guides, coaches will challenge students to develop the character and discipline essential to becoming effective leaders.

Who Is It Designed for?

CollegePlus! is not just for “gifted” or “genius” students. We have found that determination and diligence are far more important to success than “giftedness.” Being smart is an added bonus, but it is the students who have the will to succeed that are the most successful in CollegePlus! and in life.

How Do We Measure Success and Ensure Quality?

CollegePlus! certified coaches begin by helping a student develop concrete goals and objectives for their education. We measure success by whether a student is making consistent progress towards those goals and objectives. In addition to the coach’s reviews, the student’s development will be periodically reviewed by a master coach to ensure that the student is progressing and receiving the highest quality education possible.

The exams our students take (CLEP and DANTES) are nationally accepted and are approved by the American Council on Education (ACE). The online classes taken by students are regionally-accredited by one of six regional accrediting boards, and as such, meet the highest level of academic requirement.

Parental Involvement

CollegePlus! strongly encourages a student’s parents to remain involved in this time of schooling since parents can offer encouragement, counsel, wisdom, and advice complementary to that of the coaches. Should any problems arise during the course of study, these problems would immediately become apparent to at least one of these individuals involved (student, coach, parents, etc.) who could bring them to the attention of the others for resolution, thus maintaining the quality of the degree program.

How Long Will It Take?

CollegePlus! is all about customization to the students’ needs. While some students with previous credits are able to complete their studies in as little as a few months, the standard program is set up on a two-year schedule. If a student would like to study at a faster pace, it is entirely up to him.

Does It Ever “Not Work”?

Even though the CollegePlus! program is extremely flexible and customizable, it is understood that CollegePlus! may not be the right fit for every student. This is why we have developed an extensive application process to make sure that CollegePlus! is the right program for you before you have actually enrolled.

Students who enjoy reading and are comfortable studying independently, as well as those with personal drive, tend to excel the most.
