An ultra-low-cost college degree | Shai Reshef 

+Zeina Gabriel can i still apply for UoP even if i'm already a college student since i'm not so much satisfied with the teaching style of my university?

+Jourdan Nguyen Hello Jourdan, thank you very much for your question. Of course you can. You can apply to the University of the People if you have a high school degree. You can pursue your degree in your own university and you can also follow one of the programs offered at the University of the People. It is really up to you. However, please note, that to my knowledge, credits can't be transferred from your college to the University of the People and vice versa. Best of luck. Please don't hesitate to write if you have any additional questions. Take care.

Hy Shai sir I am from India how can we take admission in your university?

is that mean that univesity of the people is 100% online ? or optional ?

@@yasmineamme5532 100% online

Not everybody is lucky enough to be born in Germany

Living in Germany but not having a C1 in the language, automatically kicks me out along with many immigrants who don’t click with such a hard and demanding idiom . So no, Germany privileges only Germans, or those highly skilled in said language. Nothing really to be proud of.

​@@Justsaymiry Where did you end up studying?

knowledge is priceless, a degree is not knowledge, a degree costs money, it has never been free and I doubt it will ever be free.

internet costs money.

knowledge is free. degree is 4000$.

+Matyscabreras Thats correct of you just want to learn its free. Want the degree pay the fee.

+Matyscabreras Yes, by living in the information era it is quite easy to get your hands on any form of education you choose, although a doctrine that is formed for the purpose of teaching and channeling all of that information is much easier done in school.

Its not actually free, you pay for it your entire life in taxes

youngbloodx Well yes and no. If you are a student, the government actually gives you money around $600 a month for free no strings attached if you are a student, so that effectively negates the tax cost for the person. I'm still incredibly happy to pay taxes in a country where they pay for everyone's university tuition instead of military campaigns on foreign soil.

Pakanahymni Even then you're still paying for the coming generations' education in taxes for the rest of your life. And even then, there is not as much of an incentive to increase quality if schools are going to get paid no matter what. And you guys are tax payers, are still overpaying since many top notch universities post their courses online for free, and you can pay a small fee for a certificate to get jobs. My friend got sought out from Google because he took Data Science classes from MIT on EdX, and he didn't even have a college degree.

youngbloodx You're talking about these things as if I didn't want to pay for other people's tuition in my taxes...? Of course I want to help other people actualize their full potential because in the end that's best for the entire nation. The quality of schools is very high, I assure you; "The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2015-2016 list has placed eight Finnish universities in its global top 500. Of these, the University of Helsinki was the highest-ranking, in 76th position."

But was your degree worth anything?

@@ubcroel4022 Since the university is accredited, the degree is worth as much as degrees from other accredited universities. Being tuition free doesn't mean the degrees are without value. For example, community colleges in California are free, but if the college is accredited, the degrees are also of value. I'm learning a lot, and I've already got my AA from a traditional US university. Comparing the two, University of the People is a great experience and a great option.

MarkNiceyard I'll take bachelor's for 4k to 6k than 40,000 or 60,000 though.

yup. i got biocehm degree and jobs but i got a 40k price tag :) oh my lord

they have scholarships

Fees add up to 4,000 a year or total over 120 credits?

MarkNiceyard the cost is not all at once. It is 60 dollars for registration. It is 100 dollars every 9 weeks at the time of finals to cover cost. Yes there are scholarships available for the foundation courses. The foundation courses are the core curriculum.

in germany you would pay something like 1200 to 1400 dollars ( approx. 1000 euros) for tuition and a degree if you want to apply at public University. the good thing in germany there are no bad universitys. all pretty much the same with little differences.

***** yeah it is but there are lots of programms which only requirement is having a highschool degree (Abitur) . If this requierement is met you can enroll and get a place witj 100% certanty

@@TheBongoJeff meh I paid 78000 and didn't even finish the degree

@@TheBongoJeff tell me about it! I heard that too. Do i need to learn German or they teach in English ?

how do you do your tests

дз

Good luck Juan. When would you be joining us at the Univeristy of the People? Take care.

+Zeina Gabriel zeina is the ged accepted if I want to enroll ?

how is it going so far ? any honest reviews ?

What's up? Worth enrolling?

Hi Michelle, did you graduate?Was it virtual or physical?

Hi,did you graduate?Was it physical or virtual?

They takes 120$ per exame it's still costly

no I actually really support the name. That's such an odd social stigma that the title of an institution should dictate the quality of their education. UoPeople sounds like something I would be proud to be part of and would represent where I come from. A place that is for genuine knowledge and the help and care of the people, people coming together to become one and help people without the intent of greed. I know this comment was a year ago but its the first one I saw xD

The name represents and reflects their vision and mission. So, it should not be changed at all. It's not just a name its a BRAND and BRAND of the PEOPLE.

I c it as a degree just like any online degree. But with online proctor service can we use only software proctor. Not like someone watching me on webcam🤔

to "Universal University"

Many do as its a DEAC Approved degree.

It's accredited..

Hello hie have u completed yet

I was wondering if you could contact me through my email address Hassansaas4@gmail.com or my whatsapp number +254719845555,i ve alot of questions to ask,your assistance will really be appreciated,

Please download Grammarly.

Nirab Pudasaini Yes, but what about the number of seats available at these colleges? What happens to the millions of qualified students who aren't lucky enough to get a seat?

Do they have distance program I can go on😉

Lol no its a childrens movie called madigasgar and there is a lemar king named julian and he sound just like the guy speaking

***** it all good my dood

My god i didn't even notice but you are bang on

He has an Israeli Accent

why ? now i can't even concentrate on what he is saying imagining him dancing on "i like to move it move it"

How much do you pay for it?

Hie is it real?

Hello Dear. Do you speak french? I'm about to start now

and i reall need to be in contact with somebody to help me Please

@@Historia-e-revelacao you can check everything on their website.

Agree completely! They need to get rid of grading by peers if they are charging anything. This is what will make me quit as well.

It's nationally accredited but would soon be regionally accredited

How has it been so far?

Soumya Ranjan Mishra This is great but were there enough seats to accommodate every qualified student in India to attend your elite institution? If not, what are those people's options?

i agree but you missed my point. The education may be cheaper in developed parts of the world but is almost inaccessible for people who actually need it. The pricing of the courses may be reconsidered and scaled to fit a countries need.

@@soumyasomu007 Congrats on getting your full-time degree. You've got a bright future ahead of you. Fair points made in terms of cost. As an Indian student, I've been paying the same fees for the past few years at UoPeople. Over two months of study that really amounts to $50 each. If you're paying the full fees. The university hasn't increased the fees by a cent. In my experience, the real issue is the weakness of the rupee against the dollar. I'm paying one and a half times the amount in Indian rupees now even though the price of each course remains exactly the same. I think most working adults here can easily afford Rs. 2000-3000 a month but when it starts rising above that value, cutting back becomes necessary. Realistically, I don't think the university can adjust for these altering exchange rate values as they have to pay their own bills as well. If they do, they'll have to keep dropping their fees based on the dollar-to-rupee exchange rate value. Which I think is asking for too much. Even then, I must point out that if you're having difficulties, they generally offer scholarships to students if you ask. I just received a third scholarship and must say that it's very possible for others to obtain one as well. It's true! Ultimately, I feel that comparing UoPeople to other universities purely based on cost does not do its cause justice. The Professors and the curriculum is more than decent. Still, very grateful for the assistance extended. Pleasantly surprised, so I'm leaving this "thank you" note here.

Are you currently enrolled. I'm very interested.

can you tell me how did you apply for the aid?

@@muhammadahmaad833 just go through the application process. There will be an option for that.

There is financial aid available.

How can I get financial aid?

zinor kclub See uopeople.edu/groups/financial_aid

There are scholarships too

Are also pursuing a course ?

Quizzes are for pratice and not graded. Graded quizzes can only be done once, and counts. Peer grading doesn't work and it is the only thing (very) wrong with this uni.

and 3 percent of south america has wifi.- and power.

Did you try scholarship??

WGU is a good school and the student has control over how much their degree cost. I got a MS at WGU. It is also regionally accredited and non-profit.

Pros and cons?

Uopeople is a dream come through

Not Sure! I saw your account on another video something completely unrelated! We bumped into each other again

It is tuition-free. For those who can't afford the modest examination processing fees, there is also financial aid available uopeople.edu/groups/financial_aid

it is 4000 for 4 years meaning till graduation.
