Accredited Online College, Academy
Study-Abroad & Domestic College Counseling
Linda Christas College and Academy are I.A.S.C. accredited schools that provide a venue for students who do not respond well to pre-planned curricula. (All courses at Linda Christas are designed after determining the skill levels, aptitudes, learning style, and interests of the student, using such vehicles as the Holland Test.)
Both schools also provide advocacy services for college and high school students in the US, Europe and Asia.
Linda Christas College
Undergraduate, Graduate, Continuing Education
Unlike traditional colleges that maintain large academic departments whose accreditations are granted automatically as a result of campus-wide cursory inspections and evaluations, Linda Christas College creates majors in a dynamic way, recruiting top academics in fields of study as student demand requires.
Each degree is designed to capture the most from a student's aptitudes, interests, skill levels, and learning style.
There are no auditorium-size classes in a Linda Christas College experience. Rather, the Linda Christas College student studies with the same format as he or she would be presented at a traditional university such as Oxford or Cambridge.
Linda Christas is not limited in the sense of having to depend on a small group of academics who may or may not be the best in their field. Linda Christas can and does employ first-tier academics as point in time consultants to design and present courses to both undergraduates and graduate students.
Linda Christas offers a full range of accredited degrees in the same variety and quality as would be found at a prestigious university, often employing the same professors who have delivered classes at Harvard, Juniata, Oxford, Beloit, Georgetown, Berkeley, Williams, Pomona, Grinnell and the Sorbonne.

Former President Nelson Mandela Offered Dullah Omar Chair of Freedom - Linda Christas College
Dr. Dullah Omar
Former President Nelson Mandela of South Africa, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, has been invited by the students of Linda Christas College to occupy the Dr. Dullah Omar Chair of Freedom at the school.
Linda Christas College established the honorary chair program in 1993 for the purpose of saluting individuals who, during their lives, symbolized the principles in which the students believe, and to which they aspire.
Dean Ronald F. Bernard made the announcement, "As we all know, Dr. Omar was an important figure in South Africa's journey toward the abolition of apartheid. Not only was Dr. Omar a hero of the civil rights movement in South Africa, and a long time associate of Mr. Mandela, he was also responsible for much of the publicity that led to Mr. Mandela's release from prison after 27 long years, Dr. Omar also served as Justice Minister in the Country's first black-led government, and as South Africa's Minister of Transport. He died in Cape T....

The Lego Group - Subject of College Doctoral Thesis
The Lego Group, based in Denmark, and one of the world's premier toy companies, is the subject of a study by the Linda Christas College doctoral business program.
Dr. Ann Voisin, Chair of the Business Department and Provost at the College says, "For a long time, The Lego Group was the only game in town when it came to the type of building material and play experience they provide.
During the last ten years, there have been many ups and downs for the Company. Currently Lego is doing well.
However, with the loss of patent protections in Europe and Canada, some trouble with quality control relative to the Lego bricks themselves, and waining customer loyalty in both the education and bulk brick markets, we may soon see major challenges in terms of the Company's overall competitive position.
One thing is certain, the factors I've just mentioned will have the inevitable effect of driving prices down for the consumer. We think it will be difficult for The Lego Group to mainta....

College Teaching Superstars Abandoning Traditional Undergraduate Commitments
Employers Now Prefer Online Degree Holders
In a surprising development, dozens of academic teaching superstars per year are abandoning their undergraduate campus positions in order to concentrate on providing courses to a broader audience online, or to work at the graduate level.
Dr. Stuart Rojstaczer of Duke University in his book Gone for Good: Tales of University Life after the Golden Age, explains that the traditional undergraduate experience for many has become primarily a time for social maturation, rather than the academic experience it once was.
In addition, the financial consequences of taking traditional on-campus bachelor's degrees have become onerous.
Further, schools and employers alike are finding that students who study online tend to be able to work and learn in a more balanced way. A balanced life approach is allowing the online graduate not only to achieve degree-level knowledge more quickly, but also add to their status as people who can be trusted to follow through with tasks without heavy supervision, something many ....
