Excelsior’s Constellation strategy for developing transformative partnerships with other institutions

Big Picture

Excelsior is pioneering a constellation model of higher education partnerships to create seamless student experiences across multiple institutions.

Why it matters

Traditional partnerships and mergers in higher education are often rigid and bureaucratic. This new model aims to be more flexible and student-centric.

Key features of the constellation model:

• Students can move between partner institutions for specific experiences
• Includes short-term, intensive in-person programs
• Seamless credit transfer between institutions
• Integration with employer needs and workforce development

The bottom line:

Excelsior’s constellation model could revolutionize how institutions collaborate, offering students the flexibility to combine online learning with targeted in-person experiences.
