uPATH.com Inc. Information

UPath is an early-stage EdTech company building a learning ecosystem that looks to transform the delivery of higher education. Through UPath, students can access high-quality, online, and credentialed education from top U.S. universities for a fraction of the price. Ultimately, UPath will enable students from around the world to receive a top-tier undergraduate education right from their computers. The UPath idea was founded and grounded in the acute tensions that are endemic to higher education today. The high cost of education has become a burden to students, with unsustainable growth in tuition and student loan debt load. This high cost comes with lack of clarity on the value that education is providing to students. And despite rising price tags, higher education has resisted more market-centric demands for greater choice and consumerism. The UPath solution brings students and institutions together from across the university continuum, enabling students to take online courses from some of the world’s elite universities for college credit at their home institutions. UPath has a marketplace-like look-and-feel. Students can search, review, enroll, and complete courses—all from the same universal platform.
