The motto of Erudt University, "Lux et Eruditio", is not a slogan on a crest. It is the test faculty use when they design a module: will a graduate be able to use this, and can the university prove the student learned it?
In practice that means published rubrics, assessment tasks tied to real work, and feedback that explains what a stronger answer would have done. It applies equally to students in Cambridge and online.
The approach is most visible in business, computing, public policy and the applied sciences, where programs such as PhD Sustainability, MS Family Business Succession and MS Accounting and Financial Reporting ask students to produce work a professional would recognise.
It also explains why online degrees are tuition-free. A university that measures itself by what graduates can do has little reason to exclude capable students because of tuition they cannot pay.
Prospective students can read how each program is assessed on its program page, linked from the program finder.
Erudt University was founded in 1988 and teaches from 99 Brattle St, Cambridge, MA 02138, United States, with tuition-free online degrees open to students in the United States and abroad. Questions go to [email protected], and applications start at erudt.com/apply.
