Engineered to Work

The world is changing and we need a new approach to higher education.

Greenway graduates will enter a world that is changing faster than ever.
Greenway will equip them with tangible engineering skills, sound judgement, and a lifelong learning mindset that makes them great innovators.

The Greenway Model’s goal:
A degree. A job. No debt.

The Opportunity

The current model for higher education isn’t working for too many students, families, and employers. And it’s particularly true in engineering.

At Greenway, we've drawn from successful models for higher education to create something different - one that makes sense for today’s students, and today’s world.

The Greenway Solution

Greenway is co-founded by Mark Somerville, one of the only people in the world who has helped found innovative programs and universities across the globe, alongside entrepreneur Troy McBride and education leader Rebecca Holcombe.

Led By People Who’ve Done This Before

In the Founders’ Words…

“Questions about what's wrong with this generation will always be with us. But in higher ed, I think the question we should be asking is what's wrong with the ways we're preparing young people for success. ”

“20-odd years ago, I was in my 21st year of schooling — and realized that almost all the important things I had learned had come from outside the classroom: from projects, jobs, and self-directed exploration.”

“I’m looking forward to helping Greenway Institute open the doors to engineering for a whole new group of students—especially those who want to connect what they learn in school to purpose, build a career while they learn, and graduate without crushing debt.”


Invitation to
Founders

The U.S. needs new approaches to higher education.
And we need your help.

We are inviting founders who believe in the life-changing promise of higher education to join us. 

“You can’t renovate your way to a new model. Sometimes you have to build new — that’s why we’re drawing on what we know works and building Greenway from the ground up.
