Why Should You Consider Attending The International University?
Personalized education is the norm at The
International University. You may assist in creating a curriculum
especially tailored to your personal and professional needs. The
curriculum at TIU is highly flexible and challenging. You are free
to explore areas of human knowledge in depth at your own rate of
comprehension and retention.
Many of TIU’s
academic programs are conducted through independent study. The
basic function of our University is teaching and learning. Every
effort is made to assure that the tutorial relationship is of
pragmatic value to each of our students. We offer you a wide range
of potential tutors to guide your study and research efforts.
The University is
constantly adding members of the adjunct faculty to enhance the
quality of our academic programs. The International University
has
created and maintains an international network of tutors who are all
holders of earned academic degrees from other recognized
institutions of higher education, who are well-versed in their
particular areas of expertise, and, most importantly, who enjoy
working directly with students on study and research projects.
TIU offers students
virtually a worldwide classroom. We have created an expanding
network of study centers throughout the world to facilitate
combinations of travel and learning experiences for our students and
our faculty. TIU encourages full utilization of available community
resources, which comprise a priceless and limitless range of
cultural and educational possibilities, which could never be
confined to any single University campus.
Our University
offers an alternative to lock step, stereotypical higher education.
TIU has a simple organizational structure, equality of all faculty
members, and freedom from enervating bureaucratic rules and
procedures.
The major emphases
of our University are directed toward Tran cultural and/or
interdisciplinary studies revealing the interrelationships of all
men and knowledge.
TIU has a completely
open admissions policy for all secondary school graduates. The
University assumes that all persons have an equal right to the
opportunity to pursue their studies to the fullest extent they are
individually capable. Also, we have a flexible enrollment policy:
you may begin at any time you are ready to assume the responsibility
of University-level study.
TIU
offers you the opportunity to experience a relatively inexpensive
education of superior quality. We do not have a colossal overhead
created by too many administrators having too little to do with
teaching, nor do we have a massive physical plant to maintain or
renovate.
Consequently, you
do not face the choice of either a superior education at private
institutions with almost prohibitive fees or an assembly-line public
education. TIU offers a viable alternative by combining the
positive factors of each type of education.
The course work at TIU is very
writing-intensive. Rather than give comprehensive final examinations
for each course, the students are required to write a summation and
analysis paper for each lesson assignment given. These papers should
generally be from five to ten pages in length or long enough to
completely cover the material presented in the lesson assignments.
Some programs differ in examination procedures.
There are no time limits or deadlines
for course completion and more than one course may be taken at a
time. However, each course must be completed before it is submitted
to TIU for evaluation. No incomplete course work will be accepted.
Upon receipt of a course, members of
the TIU faculty will evaluate the papers and the grades will be
returned to the student as soon as possible. The average grade for
all papers submitted for a course will be the final grade for that
course.
Each course generally takes about two
months to complete. However, this is only a rough estimate. With
good study habits and sufficient study time, a student can finish a
course sooner.
Should a student decide to change a
course at any time during his degree program at TIU, he or she may
do so by notifying our offices of the proposed change. If the course
change is approved, the student will be sent the course materials
for the new course and their cost will be added to the student's
bill. The old materials may be returned to TIU and their cost will
be deducted from the student's book account. However, a $50
processing fee will be applied for each course change. Remember You
set your own pace for both academic and financial requirements. |
