Sensationalistic headline aside, this is something we’ve been concerned about for many years and one of the reasons that we founded Junction. Affordable, effective and time-efficient learning should be within the reach of more students. What that implies is that course and degree completion rates matter and, due to compounding interest charges for loan deferrals, the time and cost to completion matter as well.

At Junction, we’re very focused on working with colleges, universities, faculty and support staff to build and deliver high-quality, affordable, engaging and effective learning solutions for students. Together, we can solve this problem and deliver a better, brighter, future for a generation of learners.
