Ellis University is a new college for online students. It was started in Chicago in 2008 and then received national accreditation in 2009. Its goal is to provide its students with the education and training needed to be ready to go to work in the field that your degree programs are specialized on.
The university offers a number of college undergraduate degrees with a focus on practical courses. It has both Associate Degrees and Bachelor degree programs.
Graduate work is available in several Master’s Degree programs. These include various MBA’s; a Master of Science in Management; a Master of Science in Instructional Technology; and a Master of Arts in Education. All graduate level courses are offered on a distance learning basis.
In order to help students be able to get the interactive education needed, all faculty members are required to log into their email six days each week. This is sure to give students the quick answers to their questions that they need for a continuous, interesting, and informative education. They also receive training on using the online media that the university uses. All their instructors also have at least a Master’s Degree in the field that they are teaching. Each of the online courses is interactive and includes video simulations, flash animations, discussion posts, and other tools to enhance a campus environment.
Enrolling in Ellis University requires that students have worked for three years after graduating from high school. If they have less than the required three years, they may also enroll if they have at least thirty college credits from another college. Students that have less than 12 hours credit from any college will be required to take 12 hours of classes toward their Success Certificate. These courses are designed to help students integrate into college life and be prepared for better results in terms of study and social interaction. The four courses include College Success Seminar, College Composition I; Introductory Concepts of Mathematics, and Intro to Sociology.
In order to help its students with financial aid, the University offers a way to reduce tuition by as much as 50 percent through its Ellis Opportunity Grant. The Grant is available for both undergraduate degree programs and graduate programs. It is available each year and certain academic requirements must be met.
Ellis University also accepts military students. Currently, about one-third of their online students have a military background. Spouses of veterans, as well as their dependents, are also eligible to receive special discounts for their education.
