NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Section4, the leading provider of elite online business education, today announced that students will get unlimited access to its business curriculum for a fraction of the cost of a degree, the company’s latest step in reinventing and democratizing world-class business education.
Section4 was founded in 2019 by NYU Stern professor and serial entrepreneur Scott Galloway, with the goal of ensuring widespread access to elite business education. Since its founding, Section4 has educated more than 15,000 students across 97 countries through its intensive, two-week online courses, called “sprints.”
Now, students and teams will be able to access every Section4 sprint throughout the year, as well as regular live lectures, member events, and coaching services.
Section4 is celebrating the launch of unlimited sprints by giving away 1,000 full-price scholarships, valued at $995, to underserved students. Around 10 percent of Section4 students receive their education at no cost.
“We believe the next generation of business leaders can come from anywhere, if they’re given access to world-class education and a supportive network,” said Section4 CEO Greg Shove. “We made this decision to open up the gates to anyone who is hungry to learn and grow.”
“Exclusivity in education is hampering our economy and society, to the benefit of a small number of people at the top,” said Galloway. “We have ambitious plans to educate hundreds of thousands of students by offering unlimited access to our curriculum at a very affordable price.”
In 2022, the Section4 curriculum will focus on five tracks designed to build leaders for the growth economy: marketing, product, disruption, leadership, and personal superpowers. The curriculum will feature award-winning business school faculty and industry leaders, including UC Berkeley Haas lecturers Dr. Sahar Yousef and Lucas Miller; former Allbirds marketing leader Julie Channing; and Michael Bungay Stanier, bestselling author of The Coaching Habit.
Section4 also works with companies to develop talent from within, a critical skill in the wake of the Great Resignation. Already, Section4’s student body represents 3,000 firms and 50 of the Fortune 100. The expanded offering will make Section4 available to more employees, teams, and companies.
“As the rapid pace of change accelerates, building your team’s strategic skillset isn't a nice-to-have, it's a must-have,” said Shove. “Offering unlimited education at this price makes it a no-brainer for companies – either to partner with us directly or to reimburse their team members for joining Section4.”
