Flexible Models to Meet Institutional Goals
Traditional higher education wasn’t built for adults juggling jobs, families, and tight schedules. Project Kitty Hawk helps universities meet these learners where they are—with the speed, relevance, and support they expect.
Whether an institution needs full-scale support or targeted services, we offer flexible ways to partner:
FLIGHT PATH
Full-Service Delivery
A full-service, end-to-end model that supports the entire student journey – from program design to graduation. Ideal for launching and scaling new or underperforming online degrees built specifically for adult learners.
CUSTOM EDUCATION SERVICES
Targeted Services
A flexible model that delivers targeted support across key functions or programs. Ideal for strengthening established online offerings or enhancing specific areas like marketing, admissions, or student support.
Have questions about a partnership? Our team is here to help.
North Carolina has the best public universities in the country. Project Kitty Hawk extends the System’s reach to adults who often juggle a full-time job, care for children, and other responsibilities that can limit their opportunity to earn a college degree.
