You may have heard that distance learning is not for everyone. There is some truth to this statement: distance learning lacks intense student interaction, immediate contact with faculty and it often requires being a self-motivated reader. Indeed, Euclid is a distance extension, which means that if the experience of campus life and peer support is essential, you should consider traditional studies, at least for part of your studies.

Remember that the 'downside' of intensive distance programs that rely on self-discipline and self-learning abilities is that you have limited access to faculty and peers. This is not a problem for self-motivated students, but some subjects (especially in the field of science) may require 'outside help'. For this reason, Euclid accepts credits from other accredited institutions, and may even recommend that certain difficult classes be taken in a classroom environment.
THE EUCLID APPROACH TO EXCEPTIONAL DISTANCE LEARNING
Euclid offers what we think is the most varied, most dynamic, most enjoyable approach to distance academic learning.
Our courses database includes a large selection of curriculum-documented courses delivered by various means: lectures on video, DVD, audio cassettes and MP3s, as well as book-based mentor-directed self-studies.
This is the heart of our success: Euclid's and yours. At the bachelors's level, you can decide to focus on the course delivery methods that works best for you: audio-tapes, DVD lectures, online textbooks, MP3 debates and conferences, etc. In fact, Euclid often offers more than one way to cover the same subject matter - you build your roadmap to success, using the learning approach that yields the best results.
To make this possible, Euclid builds on the products and services offered by the following resources and partners:

Euclid is faithful to its motto "Let us also hear the other side". The Pavel Florensky School of Theology and Ministry makes extensive use of the MP3 and audio cassette debates published by Dr. James White's Alpha Omega Ministries. These extensive debates provide the student with an in-depth understanding of theological issues and inter-faith dialogue and pastoral care. The MP3 format of these courses makes then extremely affordable and immediately accessible online. Euclid also uses EWTN's extensive library of audio and video conferences. These free resources make the overall cost of Euclid's M. Th. program extremely affordable.
The Biopolitics International Organisation (B.I.O.) is an non-profit, non-governmental organization, founded in Athens, in 1985. Over the course of its history, B.I.O. has been promoting a shift from an anthropocentric to a biocentric system of values in society, in order to curb environmental destruction and place appreciation of the environment at the core of every human endeavor. In January 1990, B.I.O. launched the International University for the Bio-Environment (I.U.B.E.), with the goal to introduce essential reforms on all educational levels and promote new biocentric curricula in every academic field. Euclid uses BIO's courses for several of its degree programs.
Euclid has retained TrainSignal's award-winning Computer Based Training products for most of its IT/MIS programs. TrainSignal offers high quality courses, labs and certification preparation solutions that will enable Euclid to deliver best-of-class IT training to its international student body, at very low cost.

EUCLID'S ROADMAP SYSTEM
Each degree programs consists of a recommended sequence of required and elective credit-granting courses. The sequences constitutes the backbone of the student's degree Roadmap. The student is guided step by step and track his or her advancement with a progress chart (below).
Credits are granted when the course requirements and assignments are achieved. A moderate to fast learner can normally complete a 2 credit course in 2-5 weeks, especially if her or she used commuting time to listen to audio classes.
Euclid's study requirements (on any format) are carefully selected to offer the best delivery of information on the subject at hand. In all fields, reference works are privileged over controversial or complex publications.
