About Maestro College

Maestro College, formerly Peloton College, is a college in Dallas, Texas offering associate degree and diploma programs. Our programs combine academic rigor with flexible, learner-centered design.

Our courses combine guidance from instructors with an AI tutor that gives students support whenever they need it. Instructors lead weekly discussions, review and grade your exams and assignments with written feedback, and answer your academic questions.

We are in a teach-out approved by our accreditor through June 30, 2027. Classes continue, and every enrolled student has a path to finish. After the teach-out, the College will remain open, offering seminars and other programs. What this means for students.

FAQs

Is Maestro College still open?

Yes. Classes continue as scheduled for currently enrolled students, and academic support and student services remain fully available. New student enrollment is suspended.

Can I still graduate with an accredited degree?

Regardless of the outcome of the appeal, students who complete their programs by June 30, 2027 under the COE-approved teach-out plan will graduate from an accredited institution.

How do I finish in time?

The college works with each student on an individual plan based on program, cohort, academic standing and anticipated completion date. Eligible students may take courses at an accelerated pace. Students are contacted directly about their options.

Can I transfer instead?

Yes. The college has an approved teach-out agreement with Columbia College, which gives credit for all prior Maestro work plus a 15% tuition discount. Davenport University accepts all credits earned with a C or better that apply to your program, and out-of-state online students receive a 32% tuition grant. The receiving institution makes the final decision on how credits apply.

What happened to federal Direct Loans?

Effective October 13, 2026, Maestro College voluntarily withdrew from all federal student aid programs, including the Federal Direct Loan Program. Since then, the full tuition of every eligible current degree student is covered by the College-funded Maestro Pro Scholarship, with no federal or state aid.

What happens to my records after June 30, 2027?

Maestro College will remain open after June 30, 2027, offering seminars and other programs, and will continue to provide records, transcripts, graduate support and other services.
