Outlier by Savvas provides online, asynchronous dual-enrollment courses that enable students to simultaneously earn high school as well as real transferable college credits from the University of Pittsburgh, a top 50 global university. A flexible, digital solution that is easy for educators to implement, Outlier meets the needs of school districts looking to bring high-quality college courses to their high schools.
Research has long shown that students who participate in dual-enrollment courses are more likely to graduate high school, enroll in a four-year college, and complete a college degree. Taking college courses helps students “try on” the college experience in a safe, familiar learning environment.
Outlier’s award-winning courses offer cinematically produced lectures by top-rated instructors and professors from renowned institutions such as NASA, MIT, Harvard, and Yale. Since Outlier courses are offered asynchronously, students — no matter where they live — can experience the rigor of college-level courses that easily fit their school schedule. The courses offer engaging, interactive features to increase students’ interest in the subject matter and mastery-based learning to better ensure they understand it. With Outlier, college credit is driven by the student’s overall course grade, not a high-stakes test like an AP exam.
What makes Outlier especially unique is that there’s nothing else like it in the market. By infusing technology into the dual-enrollment learning experience, Outlier enables high schools to turn any classroom into a college lecture hall, increasing educational access and opportunities for all students and helping to prepare them for the demands of higher education.
For these reasons and more, Outlier by Savvas Online Dual Enrollment Courses earned a Cool Tool Award for “Best College Prep Solution” as part of The EdTech Awards 2025 from EdTech Digest. Learn more.
