Interesting! I love the exciting innovations that have exploded in education over the past 5-10 years. Amazing!

They don't give a ton of info, but I found this potential barrier "How can one enroll?

The program is offered to students through their employer. A list of employer partners can be found on the “Our Partners” page. Contact info@collegeforamerica.org for additional information on becoming an employer partner"
