The University of the People offers a unique learning experience in two programs: • Business Administration • Computer Science What does the University of the People look like? As mentioned there are no buildings, trees or grass to rest on between the classes - all the students' needs can be found online. The university is made up primarily of the people who study in it, and the materials they use. Students are grouped in classes which reflect their progress. The student advances along with their peers as they are given the same lesson and assignments every week. How does University of the People promote the students success? The curriculum includes lessons, classes, discussions, assignments and exams like any university. The students receive maximum freedom in location and hours. Still, in order to push our students for success in the final exam there are several tools that ensure their commitment, and promote their knowledge. • Each class has a closed forum for questions and discussions. Participation in the forum is a must on a weekly basis. • For each subject there are open forums where volunteers from the academia worldwide help students find answers to their questions. • Students are given weekly assignments which allow them to test their understanding of the material. University of the People's goal is to allow students to live their lives, make a living at whatever means are available in their environment, and yet be able to enjoy a supportive learning environment which will eventually lead them to the degree, and a better life. The University of the People developed a revolutionary study program which allows anyone to acquire post secondary education. We do that without the restrictions of walls, a hefty administration, without even a cafeteria - University of the People brings quality academic education to the remotest of places with practically no cost. Where does the study take place? Classes of the University of the People take place online, so people can learn wherever an internet connection is available. All materials, including the lessons, are texts so whether you have a fast connection or a slow one you get the same lesson. To allow even more people to participate the lessons can be read in the span of a few days are not restricted to a specific time. The students can read and participate whenever their lives allow it. How much does it cost? The University of the People receives no bills for rooms, administration, and teachers - so studying at the University of the People is free of charge. At the present, the University of the People also does not charge for application, registration and exam processing fees. However, these fees and charges will not necessarily be waived in the future. ... (expand) (contract)
