Academic Programs Project

Thinking about college programs should be simple, clear, and inspiring. The Academic Programs Project is creating one easy‑to‑use database and modern web templates so students can quickly explore degrees and certificates on any device. Accessibility is designed and built in from the start, ensuring mobile‑friendly pages with streamlined navigation that make it easier to find the right path and feel confident about next steps.
