Comprised of students from around the world, the student body will learn through the peer-based learning methodology with the support of Instructors. Within the online study communities, students will share resources, exchange ideas, discuss weekly topics, submit assignments, and take exams.
 
The corresponding tuition-free online degree programs offered by UoPeople functions effectively on a limited budget without sacrificing the quality of education by encouraging collaborative learning and using open-source e-learning principles.

 

The curriculum itself is supported by respected scholars who participate in class discussions and oversee the assessment process.  They also develop ongoing procedures for curriculum development and evaluation.

 

A community of educators comprised of active and retired professors, and other professionals participate in the educational activity. They also take part in developing the ongoing procedures for curriculum evaluation and development.

 

In the future, UoPeople plans to charge nominal Application and Exam Administration fees ($10-$50 and $10-$100 respectively) that may be adjusted on a sliding scale based on the economic situation of each student’s country or place of residence.
