We’ve studied and worked at some incredible universities; we’ve learned a lot there. We also see that the system is in need of a lot of reform, and we don’t believe that reform is happening on the inside. Some skills need to be learned in university: if you want to practice engineering, law, or medicine, you’ll need to go, and you should. But even those degrees should evolve. Colleges have a place in our long term vision. It’s just different form how they look today.

Not yet, unless the course they choose for their Technical Certificate is accepted for Transfer Credit by the college they attend. We are working with universities now to gain credits for the course work you’ll do with Futures Forge.

Yes. Futures Forge’s admissions process does not discriminate based on national origin. Successful applicants will be required to demonstrate a strong command of the English language, and all students will be required to obtain their own visas for six- to ten-week entry into all countries in which we hold our Courses.

Futures Forge facilitators have a passion for, and track record with, successfully accelerating young adults. Each is deeply trained in Futures Forge’s learning approach and methodology.

It doesn’t. Our policy, available on our About page, is that our admissions process does not discriminate based on demographic factors such as sex, race, color, or nationality. We do not believe in any non-meritorious discrimination in recruiting for members of Futures Forge.
