Good to be here, please i want to ask if there is a Law course.
Hi Godwin, we do not offer a Law program at this time. We offer Associate and Bachelor degrees in Computer Science, Health Science, Business Administration, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program and a Master of Education in Advanced Teaching (M.Ed.) program. For more information about our degree programs, feel free to visit our website: www.uopeople.edu/programs/
That is very awesome! My question is, can I will finish the 4-year degree earlier than the four years?
Hi Akurugu, students who maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 or greater from their first term of studies with us onward may register for up to four courses per term: if you fall into this category of students you might be able to complete your program in less than 3 years.
What will be mode of delivery of lectures? Synchronous (real time) or Asynchronous ( like MOOC)?
Thanks for asking Nasir. Our classes are asynchronized, students can chose where and when they complete their learning tasks provided they ensure that they meet the weekly activities deadlines.
Uopeople is the best.
Thanks for your generous comments Efe!
Can I be automatically exempted for the English foundation course if I attended school (Have a diploma from University) in a country that has an official language which is English the course studied is in English?
Thanks for asking Alphonse. If your country is on our list of countries who use only English language in their education system, you might automatically meet our English proficiency requirement. Please email your advisor or admissions@uopeople.edu for clarification about your English proficiency status.
Hi guys,thanks for the video. My question is, can i finish my health science bachelors degree on my own time? Meaning, can i complete it in three years, if i want too? Is there any programs for that? thank you.
Yes Seare, if your GPA with us is 3.0 or above, you will be allowed to take 3 courses per term --- that way you will be able to complete your program in 3 years.
Hello Allison and Jessica, I want to ask about academic writing and research skills. Do you offer this course separately and in an extended period longer than a 9 week term maybe 20 weeks? I ask about this so we can really improve our academic writing and research skills. I look forward to your response at your earliest convenience. Thank you Allison and Jessica.
Hi Tekaai, our English Composition 2 course is the course to take to improve academic writing. Also, our Foundational courses foster effective communication, teach critical research and writing skills, and expand the capacity for quantitative reasoning. Keep in mind that each of our courses lasts for 9 weeks: we do not offer courses that last for more than 9 weeks.
Is the campus working on obtaining regional accreditation? How quickly can you complete a course?
Hi Samantha, please note that institutions seeking accreditation are prohibited from sharing their status or commenting in any way during the process. As soon as we achieve additional accreditation and/or recognition, we will make it known on our website and our social media pages.
Hi Ladies, this is great thanks for the Q&A , So my question, After Obtaining a degree from UoPeople, how do i get that degree licensed professionally since the website has a disclaimer that * However, please note that our programs do not lead to any form of professional licensure.*
Hi Lubwama, our programs lead to degrees not licenses. That said, it is advisable that you directly contact the agency or organization or state that you require a license from and ask them whether our program will assist you in getting the license. You are advised to make that inquiry from them before you apply to our program.
Can someone take a course like computer science using his phone or tablet throughout?
I mean if the person is not having a laptop or desktop computer?
Thanks for asking Alphonse. You can use your mobile device for 60 to 70% of your studies; however, there will be times when you will need to use a computer for your coding assignments, lab-work, and mini-projects.
Hello! If I were to complete a degree with you guys, would it be transferable to other UC's? Such as UCLA?
Hi Adriana, please note that we have a transfer credit agreement with UC Berkeley, please read more information about the transfer process here catalog.uopeople.edu/ug_term1_item/undergraduate-admissions/uopeople-partnerships-nomination-process For the other UC's, it's advisable to contact them and ask directly if they'll accept our degree towards their program.
Hi, Nice session to view, thanks.
I've been a student for about a year and an close to halfway through the Masters in Education, am happy with all processes etc.
My question is:' Will the accreditation be accepted internationally when applying for teaching jobs? 'I'm confused about the accreditation acceptance criteria institutionally, in different spheres like University, company and embassy reviews. Can you maybe shed some light on this?
Much appreciated
Hi N K, we are glad you are pleased with the program. Yes, many independent and parochial schools in the US and elsewhere will hire a master’s level teacher. Also, IB schools will consider graduates of our M.Ed. program who additionally complete the Category 1 Workshop for their teaching positions.
Hi NK Iam I already applied and Iam ready to start the master in education as well, I would like to talk to you about the program.
@@carlosmarquez5863 ok, message me, I will be happy to assist..

Yes you can 호빵맨! We have academic partnership with NYU, which enables UoPeople students to apply to NYU Abu Dhabi Campus after their first year of studying with us. Our academic partnerships with University of California Berkeley and the University of Edinburgh enable our students to apply to complete their BA studies on campus there. Outside of our academic partnerships, the transfer-ability of credits is completely at the discretion of each individual university, as is the case for all transfer students to all universities across the world. For that reason, we have created a partnership with the above universities and we are working towards signing additional agreements with more academic institutions.
We are proud that many of our students and graduates have continued their studies at universities around the world such as University of Delaware, Western Governors University, Hawaii Pacific University, University of Auckland (New Zealand), University of Nairobi (Kenya), Sapienza University of Rome (Italy), Carnegie Mellon University (Australia), University of Newcastle (Australia) and many more.
I'm interested in Masters in Education. Part time student. My question is: How many exam fees($100) will I have to pay through out?
Thank you!
Hi Joel, each M.Ed. course carries a course assessment fee of $200, undergraduate courses have a course assessment fee of $100. There are 14 courses in the M.Ed. program and each carries a course assessment fee of $200.

@@uopeople I am enrolled and waiting for a scholarship decision, but this comment made me wonder what the most classes you can take in one term was? I currently plan on completely the Associates in Business Administration in 2 years, 2 classes a term but if it was possible to finish earlier doing 3 classes a term that would be amazing.
@@michellebaldwin2301 yes you can request to take 3 courses per term if your GPA with us after your first term of studies is 3.0 or above 3.0. In that case, you will be able to complete the program faster.
@@uopeople Great! Thank you! And thank you for the quick response.
I have a question I want to do a Master in business administration, I will only have to pay application fee and $200 exam fee. I read something that each exams that I take I need to take in a test centre. Can you explain that for me please..
Hi Ver, please note that all our examinations and assessments are done online-only; you do not need to visit any test center to take your assessments, you can do that from your home or office or library or anywhere you like from your computer.

Keep in mind that you will not be asked to pay the entire $2,460 at once; you will only pay $200 or $400 at the end of each term depending on whether you take 1 or 2 courses per term.
