In 1975, CA created a simpler way to apply for college. 1 application, 15 forward-thinking institutions. Today, it connects more than 1 million students each year to hundreds of colleges and universities around the world.
But the path to higher education has changed. While anyone can find it at any time in their life, not everyone does. The Common Application is simple, the process logical, and the experience joyful. By supporting those who need it most. And, by celebrating the people - students, counselors, and admissions professionals- who will forge a better future, together.
