A One Million Student University?
summary
Launched in 2009 and accredited in 2014, the tuition‑free non‑profit online university now enrolls 153,000 students (including ~19,000 refugees and 60,000 in Africa), runs on ~47,000 volunteers with 1,500 active instructors, and charges a $140 assessment fee (about $5,600 for a full BA). The explicit plan is to reach one million students by scaling with AI for student risk detection, automated tutoring and course authoring, plus targeted recruiting and employer placement to improve graduation and job outcomes.
