Who We Are

Who We Are

Six Universities. One Community. Endless Possibilities.

The Community Solution Education System is an integrated, nonprofit coalition of six colleges and universities working together as one community, breaking down barriers between institutions to better serve learners.

We believe that shared challenges demand shared solutions. By aligning strategies, coordinating resources, and leveraging collective infrastructure, we strengthen each institution’s ability to deliver on its mission. This collaborative model allows universities to focus more fully on educating students while benefiting from the power, scale, and support of a unified system.

Our Model

Our model is built on radical cooperation — a collaboration-first approach in which diverse entities and individuals leverage their strengths, share accountability, and prioritize collective success over individual gains.

We use a governance and cultural model designed to integrate our institutions while maintaining each university’s unique identity, enhancing operations, student success, and the capacity to innovate in ways that would be difficult to achieve alone.

Collective Strength Creates Real Impact

Across our system, students benefit from the shared strength of six institutions working as one. Cross-functional teams collaborate across campuses, new program partnerships grow from aligned priorities, and shared resources improve efficiency and expand access. Together, we prepare learners for high-impact fields and strengthen the communities that rely on them.

Driven By Impact

We are driven to ensure positive outcomes for our students, staff, faculty, community members, and beyond. By working in cooperation toward a shared mission, we are a part of the solution in creating access, bridging cultures, and providing opportunities to underserved and overlooked communities.
