Your Organization has Never Had to Work Harder or Smarter. You Have the Plan and the People, but You Need More.

We decided it was time to make higher education work for you and for those we serve. A higher education should mean that when learning changes a life — it’s good for everyone. 

Their dreams. Your goals. Their futures. Your successes. 

We also know collaboration accelerates solutions. We strive to deliver — on your terms and on your timeline.

This is the bold new work of the Coalition for the Common Good.

Working with the Coalition for the Common Good has real benefits. As a partner, you’ll have access to a customized plan that addresses your organization’s needs.

The Coalition is designed to be a unique national university system — truly the first of its kind — of multiple institutions of higher education with complementary, high-quality academic programs, geographic diversity, and innovative approaches to undergraduate and graduate education and lifelong learning.

With affiliated universities convened around a shared mission, the Coalition for the Common Good focuses on educating students not only to advance their careers but also to promote our pluralistic democracy and social, racial, economic, and environmental justice.
