THE DIRECT ADVANTAGE™️
An easier way to earn your degree
Traditional approach
Courses last 8-15 weeks, with progress based on a preset timeline. There’s no such thing as taking breaks without failing the course.
Direct Advantage™️
You can start whenever you are ready and complete courses at your own pace. Set and meet your own timeline goals. Take breaks when life calls for it.
Traditional approach
Immutable grades are assigned based on student performance. Only a select few achieve top final scores.
Direct Advantage™️
Students are coached until they reach mastery. Every student can achieve a top final score at their own pace.
Traditional approach
Professors answer questions, conduct tests and assessments, and deliver final course grades.
Direct Advantage™️
Professors coach students and propel student progress from “development” to “mastery” — with a 48-hour grading turnaround, the fastest in the country.
Traditional approach
Students receive a college degree once they pass all required coursework.
Direct Advantage™️
Students receive a college degree at their own pace. In some courses, they can earn digital badges for transferable skills like Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, and Leadership.
Traditional approach
Text-based and rote. Students are asked to memorize and demonstrate mastery of content or information.
Direct Advantage™️
Skills-based and inspiring active engagement. Students are asked to demonstrate mastery of skills through open-ended assignments.
