Business Model
Quad Learning is not a traditional for-profit education company because it does not confer or offer any degrees. Quad Learning provides collaborating community colleges with a cloud-based software-as-a-service platform, instructional design, faculty development, domestic and international recruitment and selective admissions, marketing services, student services, transfer network coordination, and infrastructural support and capital to deliver instruction to students.The approach includes a focus on student outcomes with small class sizes, career services, and transfer placements.
Students pay additional tuition and fees for the extra services received.

4-Year Transfer Network
