College Unbound (CU), focuses on adult learners who have faced significant barriers to attending college. CU coordinates courses, field studies, and in-depth project work to help students develop field-specific knowledge and skills that encourage deep learning. CU fills a unique niche in postsecondary education for returning adult learners with a Bachelor’s Degree program designed around an innovative, personalized, interest/project-based curriculum model.
College Unbound partners with Equity Institute offering a TA to BA program! Equity Unbound is a collaboration offering BIPOC educators a pathway to a college degree. Equity Unbound was created to help recruit and develop a diverse teacher workforce.
"I used to be unsure of myself, not confident enough to take up space or speak up. Now, I unapologetically take up space and advocate for any and everything that centers around community, the youth and just about anything else I am passionate about."
"I used to be ashamed of not having my degree while encouraging and helping so many people get theirs. Now I am standing with my head held high, proud because I finally completed a dream 30 years deferred."
"I used to be myself, now I am a better version. After graduation, I will live my best life, I will apply to a graduate school in a dual degree master’s program of MBA and MFA with a concentration on creative writing."
