A New Playbook for Prosperity
Business Model Transformation
With Core Education as your mission critical strategic partner, we use a new play book via our successful "Prosperity Study" methodology, which outlines your future state as an organization. We then provide affiliated institutions with necessary operating resources to achieve their goals.
Core leverages our economies of scale to achieve operational effectiveness, technology efficiency, market expansion and successful capital strategies. We accomplish this through a comprehensive set of supporting services lead and driven by industry experts.

QUOTES
Affiliate Endorsements
Brent Wilder President of The Oregon Alliance of Independent Colleges and Universities
“The combined budgets of The Alliance member institutions are more than $1 billion,” said President of The Oregon Alliance of Independent Colleges and Universities Brent Wilder. “We need to find the right platform to empower our institutions to work independently yet take advantage of the economies of scale for shared services. Our operating agreement with Core provides us with the best of both worlds.”
Larry Czarda President of Greensboro College
“Without the Core Affiliate Network, we could not afford the resources and expertise that are driving our transformation. We are stabilizing and modernizing our technology platform. We are strengthening our institutional research. And we are launching a major workforce development initiative that will pay big dividends for our region. As a small but growing United Methodist institution with a rich history, Core is making it possible to evolve our business model in ways that match our unique vision for the future.”
David Wright President Emeritus of Indiana Wesleyan University
“There are big opportunities for institutions that leverage Core as a supporting organization. In my work with faith-based institutions, I often see the need for knowledgeable external support that appreciates how important it is for a school to maintain its independence and identity. That combination is rare – and it sets Core apart.”
Gordon Bietz Director Higher Education, North American Division, Seventh-day Adventist Church
“Core enabled a group of our institutions to launch a workforce development initiative that would have been very expensive if each tried to do it on their own.”
