Akashic University offers a variety of online learning
opportunities to inspire your lifelong learning for personal and professional
growth. This glossary explains the various courses, programs and products
available through Akashic University.
Semester-Length
Course
A semester-length course is similar to a university-level class offered
on a college campus, but takes place entirely online. You will interact
with your instructor and other classmates online and submit assignments
via email. You may be able to access tests online with a password.
Some semester-length courses have fixed start and end
dates, while others are open for enrollment at any time. In a standard
semester-length course you'll spend 5-10 hours per week on coursework;
courses with heavy reading or writing components may require more of your
time. Some courses have a more structured curriculum, while others are
more self-paced and allow you up to 6-12 months to complete the coursework.
Time management is an essential skill in successfully completing an online
course, so choose a course that best fits your schedule.
Short
e-Course
Short e-Courses are self-paced and can be completed in 4 weeks or less.
These educational experiences may include several lesson units, streaming
video or audio lectures, and assessments of the material covered in the
course. Many short courses also have class discussion boards that are
moderated by an instructor or teaching assistant. You cannot receive college
credit for these short courses, but you will gain knowledge in a fun learning
environment.
Free Seminars
Free seminars are 1-2 hour interactive learning experiences, designed
by Akashic University. They are a great way to learn about a specific
subject and become familiar with online learning. Free seminars usually
assume only general knowledge of the subject matter, are unmoderated,
and include the option of submitting a brief self-evaluation exercise
at the end of the seminar.
Professional
Intuitive and Psychic Development
Professional development courses can help you develop your skills or learn
new ones by providing convenient, low-cost, effective online instruction.
Professional Intuitive and Psychic Development courses provide users with
depth of knowledge in a particular discipline, and are a good way for
individuals to develop new skills and gain knowledge.
Astrology
Certification Program
An online astrology certification program requires prospective students
to apply for admission to Akashic School of Astrology. Once you are accepted,
you will be able to register through Akashic University and enroll in
all astrology courses.
Certificate
Program
A certificate program consists of several courses in a field of study.
Certificate programs can help you improve your depth of knowledge or skills
in a particular discipline and develop new skills or pursue a personal
interest. Upon satisfactory completion of the courses, you will receive
a certificate from Akashic University. Unlike the astrology program, there
is usually no admissions process or prerequisites to enroll.
Course
Materials
Online learning resources include course packs, supplementary teaching
materials, and additional reading available through select distribution
venues including Amazon, MightyWords, Barnes & Noble.com. CoursePacks
are customized selections from a library of related journals, periodicals,
