An Academic Alternative
A College Degree Earned in a "Non-Traditional" Way
For one reason or another deserving individuals have been denied
the education or degree they wanted. This situation can be improved
upon. Additional academic freedom is necessary in order to meet
the challenge of this new millennium, far into the next millennium.
Let us provide alternatives...
The rapidly changing needs and skills of adults in today's workplace
has given rise to alternatives in education. The lack of flexibility
of certain traditional schools is being compensated for by non-traditional
schools.
All too frequently, success is "measured in degrees".
If a college degree will help you, the University of Berkley Online will be able
to provide the necessary vehicle for you to attain that goal.
Sample diploma
(copy of honorary degree recently conferred upon the Honorable Mayor
Rudolph Giuliani)At the University of Berkley Online, we do not refer
to our students as "average" or "typical." All
are unique, individual, real people. You won't get lost in the crowd
with our school. You will receive personalized attention from your
own specifically assigned professor or "Faculty Instruction
Coordinator," as we term them.
Our University
has the progressive policy of offering unlimited transfer credits.
At the University of Berkley Online your entire
life will be assessed to determine what credit can be awarded for
life experience. Most traditional schools and even some non-traditional
schools place a limit on transfer credits. Why? After all...if you
learned something at one institution and thereby possess that knowledge...how
can anyone think they can take that away from you? Yet that is precisely
what most schools will do. You will find no such policies
at the University of Berkley Online. We are with
you every step of the way on your path to achieving the degree you
want. The University of Berkley Online and your Faculty
Instruction Coordinator are as near to you as your mailbox, telephone,
or computer.
Generally an University of Berkley Online student will
be a self-starter, who already has some or all of the knowledge
required for the degree he or she is seeking. You may be a "professional"
or a "lay person," you may have some formal education,
or none at all. It makes no difference; you simply fill in the holes
where you must. This is explained later under Structure
of Degree Programs.
