Indigo Promise
It is our belief that education institutions should create programs that matter and lead to employment.  We are so incredibly committed to this line of reasoning that we created the Indigo Promise.  

We guarantee employment within 90 days of graduation or we will refund 50% of your tuition.  ​We stand by our promise.  Students have entrusted our college to provide exceptional education and we take this duty very seriously.

Our students should feel they have gained valuable skills and are completely prepared for employment!​

Disrupting the Education Space

One Student at a Time

Research indicates that the cost of higher education has spiraled out of control–increasing over 500% over the last three decades.

The founders of Indigo set out to create a better way. We focus on career fields that show strong growth.

We offer affordable tuition at a great value, and provide flexible financing plans so that everyone can afford it. We give students half their tuition back if they aren’t placed in a job offer within six months of graduating.

Basically, we’re providing higher education the upgrade it so desperately needs by reducing cost and guaranteeing job placement.

Everything we do at Indigo is shaped by the one question our students care about most — “How can I land a great job?” Unlike other schools, which are more focused on collecting tuition than preparing students for employment, we measure our success at Indigo based on how well you accomplish your end goal of finding a great job you enjoy. We accomplish this mission by leveraging the “Indigo Network” so that we keep the “Indigo Promise.”  Here's how it works:

The Indigo Network – leading local dental offices that support students in three critical ways:

1

Network offices help shape curriculum to make sure students contribute on day one of employment

2

Network offices host externships, providing students with critical real-world experience prior to graduation

3

Network offices post open positions — actual jobs — that are available for student application upon graduation

The Indigo Promise

We are so confident that Indigo is the best way to launch a great dental assistant career that we back up our claim with the Indigo Promise. Simply put, we guarantee all graduating students a job offer within six months of graduation or Indigo will refund 50 percent of your tuition (a maximum of a $4,000 refund). The Indigo Promise is a powerful way for us to align our financial interests with our students.  No other school offers anything close to the Indigo Promise!

Why we're named Indigo

Our name pays homage to an ambitious 18th century entrepreneur named Elizabeth “Eliza” Lucas Pinckney (1722-1793).

Eliza defied convention, not only by becoming an educated female, but by challenging the colonial idea that women weren't suited for industry. As the daughter of a prominent farmer, Eliza was given an education, which by her own words to her father was "a more valuable fortune than any [he] could have given [her]” and, “will make me happy in my future life.” Eliza was fascinated by botany, the study of plants.

At age 16, she was tasked with running three of her father's farms. Rather than plant what her neighbors were planting, she experimented with a highly-prized tropical plant called Indigo until it produced seeds, which she then shared with her fellow farmers. Indigo became one of the most important cash crops of the era, with Indigo dye accounting for one-third of exports.

Eliza's ingenuity and integrity changed the course of history and she became the first woman inducted into South Carolina’s Business Hall of Fame. We hope each of our students will be inspired by Eliza’s drive to excel, innovate, and overcome the odds as they plant the seeds of their own future here at Indigo.
