About |
Degree Forward is a mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to dramatically increasing college completion rates for working adults, particularly first-generation and historically underserved students. Founded in 2021, Degree Forward partners with accredited universities like Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) to offer an innovative, project-based, and self-paced online degree program.
What sets Degree Forward apart is its deep investment in personalized coaching, workforce readiness, transportation assistance, and local community support—removing common barriers that prevent adults from completing their degrees. Students can earn an associate or bachelor’s degree in as little as 12–24 months for a predictable, low cost.
With a growing network of learners and its new Student & Community Center in Southfield, MI, Degree Forward is proving that college is possible—and achievable—at any stage of life.
