In 1999, as a pioneer in online education, Jones International University, Ltd. (JIU), the Gold Standard Online University®, became the first fully online university in the U.S. to be accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, and also became a member of the North Central Association.
Since then, JIU has continued to develop and expand its degree programs -- all of which are designed to meet the needs of busy professionals eager to shape their future.
Every aspect of JIU's curriculum -- including the classroom setup -- is constructed to facilitate the interactive learning process. In the classroom, students are taught to develop and master professional and technical skills, and to gain the critical thinking tools necessary for today's competitive job market.
Employing the brightest minds from a variety of the world's leading universities, (including Oxford University, Carnegie Mellon University, London Business School and Thunderbird, the Garvin School of International Management) JIU creates highly relevant and practical learning experiences that help people advance their careers and enhance their lives.
JIU awards credit for StraighterLine courses as life experience credit. Students will need to apply for admission to JIU and will be required to submit the standard application fee at the time of application.
