We’re not just launching a new college… we’re building a new paradigm.
A four-year college degree. Two years of paid work experience. Zero student debt. A job in hand at graduation. If that sounds impossible, it’s because higher ed has trained us to expect less.
Our Point of View
The world and nation are at a critical moment.
Education - particularly engineering education - can be a key part of the long-term solution.
But higher ed and engineering education today aren’t rising to the moment.
The Greenway Difference
We’re starting from scratch to create a new kind of undergraduate education — one that’s more affordable, engaging, and effective than anything out there today.
What makes Greenway like no other college out there?
