“As a business leader it’s really important that you’re able to clearly communicate what you’re trying to go get done and inspire people. The best way to disrupt something is to understand it thoroughly.”

Words of wisdom from Charles Thornburgh, founder and CEO of Civitas Learning. Together with friend Mark Miliron the two men have created a system for colleges to better help their students map out a path for their education they hope will inspire those people they’re talking about.

The Degree Map app contains many features that allow students to not only figure out what classes to take for what major, but it also shows them the financial costs along the way. This comes in handy when half way through a college career a student decides to switch majors. The app allows them to better understand their decisions and forecast their educational future.
