Our Story

Course Hero was founded in 2008 by a student who missed a class and realized there had to be a better way to get caught up than awkwardly asking a stranger for notes. He set out to create a platform where students and experts could share and access the great academic content they needed to succeed, at any time, from anywhere.

Today, millions of eager learners take advantage of our quality materials. Whether you need to ace a class or flesh out your resume, we have the tools you need to achieve your goals.
