Problems Facing Higher Education

Higher education needs to change. Students are facing a number of challenges with today’s universities that are leaving them in tough situations.

Many universities today:
  • Are too expensive
  • Take too long (4-6 years)
  • Focus too much on theory at the expense of hands-on training
  • Do not lead to measurable outcomes
  • Do not train character in the individual

Hallmark University is setting out to change higher education by demonstrating a better way.

Other Universities Take Too Long

At most 4-year universities, students are hoping to finish their Bachelor-level degree in 48 months. Unfortunately, this happens much less often than some might think.

National Averages are higher than 4 years

Though most programs are projected to finish in 4 years for full-time students, most students do not stick to this timeline. In fact, the average amount of time most students finish 4-year degrees is 52 months, and sometimes up to 6 years!

A Better Way

We take a unique approach to curriculum delivery, which enables our programs to be delivered in nearly half the time as other 4-year universities. Instead of the normal 2-semester year, Hallmark students learn in six 8-week terms, with minimal breaks.

Less Time In School

In today’s fast-paced economy, students want their knowledge and experience to still be relevant when they graduate. Our accelerated programs enable our graduates to hit the ground running by utilizing the same training they will see in the workforce.

Other Universities Lack Real Experience

Learn in Real-World Classrooms

Too many students are graduating from other universities without hands-on experience in their area of study. Lectures held in large auditoriums prevent the student from developing the real-world skills demanded by today’s workforce.
