University of the People

I want to introduce you to my school so you know what I am busy with and because it is a great cause and one I am behind 100%. The school that I am attending is the worlds first tuition-free, non-profit, online university called University of the People. Free education for everyone is something that I am a firm believer in and I plan to do all that I can to expand the general knowledge of all people. I believe that society as a whole can benefit from free education for everyone. Lowering or eliminating tuition is a major concern as is providing primary and secondary education to countries that lack it. But I will talk more about that at a later date.

University of the People was launched in 2009 and their vision "is grounded in the belief that universal access to education is a key ingredient in the promotion of world peace and global economic development." With 4 core values of opportunity, community, integrity, and quality.  (source)  Right now they offer 2 majors of either business or computer science. You can get a 2-year or a 4-year degree and they are working on providing masters programs for both majors. While they are unaccredited at the moment they just recieved a $500,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation towards becoming accredited. This is a huge step and I hope it sparks a movement for more schools like the University of the People to open up!

I have completed my first term and I just started my second term this week. I am learning so much and getting the opportunity to interact with people all over the world is invaluable to me. I feel like I am accomplishing something and that I have a better future ahead of me because of this school. Thinking about college before was so daunting to me and I really didn't want to rack up any debt after the hard time I am having to pay back a semesters worth of debt to my past college. While they only offer 2 majors I believe they give you all the tools you need to start your own institution like the University of the People and change people lives for the better as they have. Check out their website to read more about them and spread the word! The more people know about them the more support and encouragement they will recieve, which is always a good thing! I've also added a link on my sidebar for ultimate accessibility :)
