U. of the People Wins Accreditation
The University of the People, an unusual online institution in which students pay no tuition and faculty members volunteer, has been accredited, The New York Times reported. Officials at the university have predicted that accreditation could lead to rapid growth. The university was accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council.
The university’s founder described his goals in a podcast interview with Inside Higher Ed in 2009.
