MissionU Model

MissionU presents a groundbreaking model in higher education, challenging traditional college structures. Adam Braun explains that MissionU collaborates with leading companies like Facebook and Lyft to design a curriculum that aligns with industry needs, ensuring students acquire relevant skills 1. This approach addresses the disconnect between academic learning and practical application, offering a more tailored educational experience.

We have a set of what we call employer partners, and these are companies that advise us on what the curriculum should be.
