- Flat monthly tuition = the faster you finish, the less you pay.
- Globally relevant degrees built with real-world skills in mind.
- Public Benefit Corporation = impact and access come first.

The Cybernetic Teammate: A Field Experiment on Generative AI Reshaping Teamwork and Expertise - new study from Harvard, Wharton & P&G shows how GenAI reshapes teamwork—and what it means for learning.
“AI adoption at scale reshapes not only performance but also how expertise and social connectivity manifest within teams.”
1. Individuals using AI performed at the same level as full human teams.
2. AI helped people cross silos—Commercial R&D staff created more integrated, balanced ideas.
3. Emotional upside: Participants using AI reported more energy, less frustration.
The takeaway for learning: We must prepare people to collaborate with AI—developing new forms of expertise, agency, and motivation.
