Jobs that require a master's degree or higher at entry-level are projected to be the fastest-growing segment of the workforce between 2014 and 2024. 

$117,400

 Household heads with a master’s degree have a median household income of $117,400. The median for professional and doctoral degrees are $162,100 and $142,300, respectively. The household median for a bachelor’s degree holder is $100,200 .7

Our Why

We believe underrepresented communities deserve and have the right to equitable opportunities to create and use generational prosperity for themselves, their families and communities.  Advanced (graduate) education and thriving careers are a primary gateway to achieving this reality.  

Graduate School Readiness Programs

Our programs offer an ecosystem of support for prospective and current graduate students seeking advanced education, greater career mobility, and industry & community influence.
