Philosophy - An Uncompromising Commitment to the Student

At Aspen University, we have built our entire existence around the student. We stake our very reputation on every single one.

Aspen University puts 100 percent of its effort into catering to you, the busy, adult learner and we prove it year after year, not just to ourselves and to our students but to third-party organizations who've judged us the best in many categories.

"The Aspen courses were among the best courses I have ever seen developed for the Internet, or any other medium. Our only question was which of the Aspen courses to name as the winner. Each course exhibited the same high quality and any of them could have received the award,"
Inabeth Miller, chairman emeritus, U.S. Distance Learning Association

The very fact that we're a distance learning institution during a time when people need flexible educational arrangements says a lot. We know people are far too busy to warehouse themselves in a school for years, not to mention giving up jobs that provide needed income. We are in the 21st century now - the old days of school houses are fast becoming a thing of the past.

We think you'll find that our practical courses will add a special dimension to your life because you'll be able to apply what you've learned to solve real-world problems immediately. Plus, in some programs you can choose the convenience of independent, or online interactive courses.

Our philosophy says learning activities should
- be practical rather than theoretical.
- be closely tied to the instructional objectives of the course
- involve application of learned material
- include real-world tasks that students will perform upon course completion.
- reflect today's team-oriented work environment by providing opportunities for collaboration
- accommodate a variety of cognitive styles.
- be exciting and engaging.

If you agree that learning should include these items, Aspen University just may be the place for you.
