At Jones International University, we offer accredited, online degrees
in the fields of business administration, education, and business
communication. As a student, you will find a highly interactive
environment and a focus on quality academic work that has immediate
professional relevance. And from inquiry to graduation, you will
be a part of an intimate learning community receiving personal attention
and support from JIU faculty and staff. For busy adults, JIU can
mean the difference between moving ahead in life and standing still.
Ready to move ahead?
All Jones International University courses are delivered entirely
via the Internet, allowing students to earn the degree they need
to advance their careers without putting the rest of their lives
on hold. Everything needed to earn a degree or just take a course
is online and accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Students
log on and learn wherever and whenever it is convenient for them.
All that is needed is a computer, access to the Internet, and any
standard web browser.
Glenn R. Jones, chancellor of Jones International University, has
devoted much of his life to his passionately held belief that education
should be available to everyone, everywhere. The Jones companies
have been working to further that goal since 1987, with the launch
of Mind Extension University™ (ME/U™ ), a cable television
network that enabled 30,000 students to take courses from over 30
colleges and universities via television.
In 1993, Mr. Jones founded JIU, the first university to exist entirely
online. And, in 1999, JIU became the first fully online university
to be accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, a member of
the North Central Association.
Hallmarks of a JIU Education
Flexibility: Everything you need to earn a degree is
online and accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All you
need is a computer, access to the Internet, any standard web browser,
and a desire to learn.
Quality: JIU's regional accreditation ensures that students
receive an outstanding education and credits that are transferable
to other accredited institutions.
Relevance: Adults learn best when what they study can
be applied to what they do. Our students can take what they learn
in the classroom and put it to use on their jobs immediately.
Faculty: JIU students learn from a world-class faculty
from leading U.S. and international universities. Content experts
from such prestigious institutions as the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, UCLA, and Carnegie Mellon University
develop all of JIU's courses specifically for the Internet.
What's it like to be a JIU student?
It's much like being in a traditional classroom, but in many respects
more intimate. Many JIU graduates have said they felt closer to
their classmates and teachers at JIU than they did in a classroom
setting.
Through a blend of assigned readings, class discussion, faculty
feedback, group projects, case studies, research, and writing assignments,
you will be in continuous communication with your peers and faculty.
And, with classes limited to 25 students, teachers get to know their
students, and students get to know their teachers and each other.
Financial Aid
Jones International University makes every effort to make education
an achievable goal for each student. As a result, we've aligned
with various organizations and agencies in order to offer financial
aid to our students. In addition, our degree-program students now
have access to Federal Student Aid (FSA) in the forms of Direct
Subsidized Stafford Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, and
Direct PLUS loans, plus the Federal Pell Grant. For more information,
please contact an enrollment counselor.
