STUDENT LIFE
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.
JIU's Enrollment Counselors :- Counselors are here to assist you. The Student Services Center will assist you with re-enrollment, withdrawals, funding questions, or changes to pre-registered degree plans.
Support & Library :- Technical Support is available 24/7 for any technology or software issues you may face. The online library JIU created is a first-class research tool, staffed by professional librarians you may call on if needed, and available to JIU students for no charge.
ABOUT JONES INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY
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 (30 North La Salle Street, Suite 2400, Chicago, IL
60602; 312.263.0456), an accrediting body for institutions of higher education in the United States.
The majority of JIU's students are working adults, generally balancing both career and family at the time they decide to continue their educations. For many of these individuals, a campus-based institution is simply out of the question, between scheduling conflicts, business travel, and childcare issues. These are among the individuals for whom JIU was created.
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.
