Core is an operating partner, which means we integrate horizontally across the critical operating functions of a college or university. The teams we deploy have deep expertise within those areas but work collaboratively to break down silos.

While we provide strategic and operational insights for our affiliate partners, our focus is on actively impacting results. We deploy our people, services, and resources into the day-to-day operations of our partner institutions.

We are a mission-driven company that is dedicated to transforming small and mid-sized colleges and universities.  As a public benefit corporation we are bound to serving this mission for the public good. 

Boards are at their best when they are strategically focused on their institution’s future, aiming for goals that are big enough to make a difference. Rather than engaging at a tactical level, successful boards empower campus leaders to execute on a mandate for transformation.

We provide faculty-sharing, prior learning assessments, input on course development and design, and forward-looking market-aligned programmatic research.
