We call what we do “college hacking” because we think it sounds exciting and because we’re approaching college in a non-traditional way. But what “hacking” really means is just using schools’ rules to graduate from them quickly and inexpensively. Research shows that “college hackers” who use non-traditional credit are more likely to graduate, so schools actually create these policies so they can attract students like you!

You can always sign up for an “expedient” session. It costs a little more, but we leave extra slots open for people each week who might be in a big hurry! You can sign up whenever. Just click here!

While we do help clients clarify their career goals, we focus on helping you earn your bachelors degree quickly and inexpensively so that you can pursue that career. We are sometimes able to give guidance, but we strongly encourage you to come to your first meeting with a career goal in mind.

When you sign up for an appointment, you will meet with either Dr. Clifford Stumme or Dr. Lauren Daly based on who is most available. Both have years of experience in college and career advising and will provide you an excellent College Hacked experience.

All of our confirmation emails come with a "Change" link where you can reschedule. However, we are unable to accommodate reschedules within 72 hours of the appointment due to our busy schedule and limited time, but we do offer an alternative:

Clients who must cancel within 72 hours are invited to email their coach all of their questions. Their coach will record a custom video including all of the promised value of that session plus the answers to their questions. The client is then welcome to respond with further questions within 72 hours of the video being sent.

We offer a 97% refund for any requests made more than 72 hours in advance of the session. The other 3% covers processing fees that we are charged by our third-party payment processing partner as soon as a payment is made.

If a cancellation and refund are requested within 72 hours of the appointment time, we charge a $100 cancellation fee and are happy to refund the rest.

If you need to request a refund, email your assigned coach to request it.

College Hacked has worked with clients aged 13 all the way up to 80. If you’re willing to put the work in, you can do this!

College Hacked is focused on helping clients earn bachelor’s degrees quickly and inexpensively. Unfortunately, it’s very rare to be able to “hack” a master’s degree (though some options do exist in the form of competency-based programs and portfolio credit). Both of our coaches earned their doctorates with the help of portfolio credit. We’d be happy to share our personal experience, help you assess master’s programs, or give advice on hacking master’s programs that are hackable. If you’re interested, set up an appointment and clarify in the comments what you are looking for help with.

Unfortunately, college transfer credit policies do change. While we account for this in our sessions, we encourage our clients to continue to verify their degree plans once their schools assign them an advisor. We recommend our clients sign up for a “check in” session every 6-12 months to make sure their school has not changed too much.

The answer depends on you, your lifestyle, and the major you choose. Typically business majors graduate very quickly and more specialized degrees take longer. Our estimates average around 12 months, but many can finish in under a year while a few very specialized specialized majors might take as many as two years.

The answer depends on the college and major you choose as well as how you want to earn it, but the vast majority of our clients spend under $6,000. Typically, the more specialized your major is, the more you’ll spend.
