The last credential
you'll ever need.
$588 per year. Yes, per year. Not per month, not per credit, not per class. Full access to 400+ majors, 700+ hiring companies, employer-verified credentials, and a portfolio of real work you ship for real stakes. 68× cheaper than private college. Same outcomes. Better outcomes.
Look at what real college actually costs.
A 4-year education at a private university is now $160,000+. Our full 4-year Bachelor of Work is $1,999. The gap is real, and the graduates are getting hired at the same rate — or faster.
| Institution | Annual Tuition | 4-Year Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Private 4-Year (average) | ~$40,000 | ~$160,000 |
| Public 4-Year (in-state) | ~$11,000 | ~$44,000 |
| Community College (2yr) | ~$3,900 | ~$7,800 |
| Coding Bootcamp / Lambda | ~$30,000 | ~$30,000 |
| WGU (competency-based) | ~$7,650 | ~$30,600 |

Not a subscription. An education.
Every dollar of the $588 goes into the full stack of what a college is supposed to deliver — but priced honestly for the century we're actually in.
400+ Majors
Every high-leverage career track — from AI Engineering to Growth Marketing to Product Design to Skilled Trades. Real curriculum built with hiring managers, not committee members three years behind the market.
Employer Faculty
Your instructors are the hiring managers at real companies who will one day interview you. Every task is graded by the person who buys the skill for a living. That's the only faculty that matters.
The Corporate Campus
700+ live companies are the campus. Every task is real work shipped at real stakes for a real business. That's your lab, your studio, your classroom.
Verified Transcript & Score
Every completion is timestamped, employer-signed, and cryptographically hashed. Your Forkaia transcript is more employer-legible than most college GPAs.
Alumni Mentors
Weekly office hours with graduates already working in your field. Not TAs. Not adjuncts. Practitioners.
Direct Employer Intros
Warm intros to Corporate Partners. Not a career fair. Not a job board. A direct handoff from your track advisor to the hiring manager.
Real Commencement
Cap, gown, transcript, alumni network. Real matriculation ritual, real graduation. Because it's a real college.
Continuous Enrollment
Your Forkaia profile doesn't expire at graduation. Come back to earn new Majors as your career pivots. Because work never stops evolving.
Every family can afford this.
$588 is already the most accessible college tuition in America. If it's still a barrier, we have five real pathways to $0 tuition. No FAFSA gymnastics required.
Employer-Sponsored Tuition
Corporate Partners regularly sponsor tuition for students pursuing a Major aligned with their hiring needs. Ask your track advisor.
Workforce Pell (2026)
New federal Workforce Pell (launches July 2026) covers short-term workforce credentials. Multiple Forkaia Majors qualify for Pell disbursement.
State Workforce Vouchers
30+ states now issue workforce training vouchers. Forkaia Majors are approved training vendors in most states.
Named Track Scholarships
Corporate Partners fund scholarships tied to their Named Tracks (e.g., The Anthropic Track in AI Engineering). Auto-applied at admission.
Payment Plan
Split $588 across 12 monthly payments of $49. Zero interest. Zero fees. Just don't stop building.
Application Fee Waiver
