"Campus offers associate degrees in areas like information technology and business administration. It also offers certificates in specialities like cosmetology and phlebotomy. There are more than 3,000 students enrolled in Campus, and it employs more than 100 professors on at least a part-time basis, Oyerinde says. Oyerinde said Campus decided to launch à la carte courses since employers, in particular, have been asking for classes that can teach their employees individual skills like vibe coding."
"Oyerinde makes use of the Pell Grant to help keep the school affordable for most people. He also has a team of billionaires on his company's cap table - like OpenAI's Sam Altman and Discord's Jason Citroen - meaning he doesn't feel much pressure to focus on profits above all else, he said. "They don't need the money," he continued. "What they really want is to fundamentally shape the way that education works in this country for the better.""
Campus provides associate degrees and certificates across disciplines, enrolls over 3,000 students, and employs more than 100 professors part-time. Campus launched à la carte courses after employers requested classes teaching specific skills like vibe coding. The school emphasizes live, online classes and anticipates a future where memberships or subscriptions support ongoing skill development. Pell Grants are used to keep tuition affordable. Significant investor support from billionaires reduces pressure to prioritize profits and enables long-term educational change. Fizz operates on more than 200 college campuses, expanded previously into high schools, and has raised over $40 million from investors including Owl Ventures and NEA.
