It's the Ivy League. Virtually.
Program Focus
Global Education Network produces online courses for the liberal arts. We have been featured on 60 Minutes and as a cover story of The New York Times Magazine, and students from high schools to the Ivy League have used our course materials. Across all student types, 70% to 80% believe that our curriculum is better than or as good as the traditional classroom experience.
How high is our quality? On average, schools spend $5,000 to $10,000 developing an online course. We spend close to $1 million per course. Does that ensure a great course? No, but it does ensure that we inspire comments like the following:
- "This is the single best tool I have ever seen for academic use, and I have been exposed to many by my parents..."
- "The best part is that the material presented is concise and organized so that it identifies important concepts and supports them with visual aids."
- "Before the course began I had no idea that GEN was such an advanced and beneficial program."
Our courses combine animation, video, transcripts, interactive exercises, and online faculty support, to give students a superb learning experience. And because students never have to attend a classroom, a new level of convenience is introduced to the learning process. You can take these courses anywhere, anytime - at home or at school.
If you're not sure whether GEN courses are right for you, visit our web site to receive a personalized Learning Profile (www.gen.com). It's free and it only takes five minutes. At the very least, it will tell you more about your strengths and weaknesses as a learner, and may help you achieve better results in any course you take. At the most, you may find a new door opening to you - a door that will lead to a world of quality, convenience, and stable tuition costs.
