About College Together

Do you believe that higher education needs a fresh and innovative approach? Are you an advocate of young adults and a believer in educational and economic justice? Would you like to be part of a team that is building a new college experience in Philadelphia?

Our learners, ages 18-25, earn an accredited Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree while taking on little to no debt. CT is a partnership with Southern New Hampshire University, the nation’s largest non-profit university.  Students are enrolled in SNHU’s digital project-based college curriculum and are supported in-person every day by College Together. At CT, they access one-on-one help; take part in a tight-knit learning community; and have access to a plethora of wrap-around resources.
