Who We Are
Reimagining undergraduate education to increase student success while decreasing student costs
Welcome! The College-in-3 Exchange is a collective of campuses hosting conversations to design undergraduate degree options that increase student success while decreasing student costs. This idea has moved from an experiment of a few campuses to an organized movement, serving as a catalyst for reimagining undergraduate education using evidence-based practice to inform a variety of designs that are not only shorter and less expensive, but better.
The College-in-3 experiment is now launching a national higher education innovation incubator – the College-in-3 Exchange – building on the work of the early pilots to bring a variety of new designs to scale.

Our Convener/Cluster Strategy
The College-in-3 Exchange is a national endeavor, organized with a Convener and Cluster strategy. Conveners may be a lead campus, an accreditor serving a region, or a national higher education organization. Cluster Participants will have access to the community of early pilots and other participants in their Cluster as well as the thought-leadership and consultation of the national Exchange leaders. Cluster Participants can connect to these communities virtually through ongoing conversations; further, Cluster Participants are invited to meet in person during future annual convenings. This process will support design, internal and external permission, launch, and assessment of student outcomes.
