From resume to diploma. No wasted time.

6° analyzes what you already know, maps it against what the degree requires, and builds the fastest possible path through the gap.

01

Upload your resume. Answer 15 questions.

Our AI extracts every skill, project, and competency from your career history. The questions fill in what resumes leave out — the knowledge you use daily but never documented. In 20 minutes, we know what you know better than any admissions office ever could.

02

See which degree finishes fastest.

We score your competency profile against every course in every supported program. The result: a ranked list of degrees by "gap size." Smallest gap = fastest graduation. You might discover that a Business Administration degree is 60% covered by your experience — while the IT Management degree you assumed was the right fit is only 40% covered.

03

Every course classified. Every gap measured.

For your chosen program, every course gets tagged: CHALLENGE NOW (test out immediately), LIGHT REFRESH (study 2-8 hours), MODERATE STUDY (15-30 hours), or FULL COURSE (genuinely new material). You see exactly how many hours stand between you and graduation.

04

Study only the gaps. AI-generated guides for each one.

For every course you can't skip, we generate a study guide covering ONLY what you don't already know. Not the full textbook — just the delta. Flashcards with spaced repetition. Practice quizzes calibrated to assessment difficulty. Readiness scores that tell you when you're ready to schedule the exam.

05

Track progress. Graduate. Move on with your life.

Visual dashboard showing courses completed, readiness scores, and your projected graduation date. Optimal course sequence with prerequisites resolved. Calendar integration for study blocks. Milestone notifications. And then: the degree. The checkbox. The thing that was standing between you and the role you've been doing for a decade.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Gap-Specific Study Guides

Not the full course — just the delta between what you know and what the exam tests. AI-generated, aligned to published competency frameworks, calibrated to your specific weaknesses.

Spaced Repetition Flashcards

Key terms, concepts, and facts for your gap areas. The system schedules reviews at optimal intervals so you retain what you study — not cram and forget.

Practice Assessments

Timed quizzes that mirror the format and difficulty of actual competency exams. Domain-level scoring shows exactly where you need more study before you schedule the real thing.

Readiness Scoring

"You're at 78% readiness for this exam. Study contract law and agency relationships to reach 90%+." No guessing whether you're ready. The data decides.

Optimal Course Sequence

Prerequisites resolved. Easiest courses first for momentum. CLEP exams before enrollment to maximize transfer credits. The order that gets you to graduation fastest.

Progress Dashboard

Courses completed, in progress, upcoming. Projected graduation date. Study hours logged. Readiness trends. The control panel for your degree sprint.

// Who This Is For

You've been doing the work. Now get the paper.

The Experienced Professional

15+ years of experience. VP-level work. But every application has that checkbox: "Bachelor's degree required." You chose not to go into debt at 18 and you were right. Now the system is punishing you for being smart. 6° fixes that in 6 months.

The Career Changer

You've been in one industry for a decade and want to pivot. The new field wants a degree you don't have — but you already know 60% of the material from adjacent experience. 6° shows you which 40% to study.

The Military Veteran

Your MOS training maps to specific degree courses. Your leadership experience covers management and operations. 6° translates military experience into academic credit and builds the fastest path to your civilian credential.

The Immigrant Professional

You have a degree from another country that isn't recognized here. Or you have 20 years of experience in a field that demands a US credential. 6° maps your international experience to US degree programs and finds the fastest path to equivalency.
