About Campus

Campus is on a mission to accelerate the talent of tomorrow and reimagine what college can (and should) be. The problem is clear: college costs have skyrocketed but outcomes havent. Traditional college hasnt kept up with the aspirations of todays studentsand they cant afford to wait.

At Campus weve built a two-year accredited college where students learn from top professors at universities like Princeton Stanford and Howard in live online classes. Our students graduate with in-demand business and AI skillsready to launch their careers or transfer to top four-year universities. Our unique approach is grounded in a pioneering technology platform and a heavily-researched student success model that offers students dedicated advisors and on-demand tutoring and coaching. We were also named one of Fast Companys Most Innovative Companies of 2024.

Were backed by an exceptional investor team that believes deeply in our vision for the future of education including General Catalyst Founders Fund Bloomberg Beta 8VC Rethink Education Sam Altman Jason Citron Shaquille ONeal and others.
