Why choose Cloud? Be prepared
At Cloud, we are dedicated to delivering our students high quality, innovative, affordable, and accessible educational opportunities that prepare them to be critical thinkers and lifelong learners. Whether our students plan to continue their education or plan to enter the workforce, they are prepared when they leave Cloud. In a survey of our 2015 graduates, 88% said they would recommend Cloud to a friend and when asked if they had it to do over again, would they come to CCCC, 86% said YES.
Be challenged At universities most of the classes you will take in the ďŹ rst two years will be taught by Graduate Teaching Assistants - basically college students working toward advanced degrees. At Cloud, 83% of our instructors already hold advanced degrees, and they will be the ones teaching you.
