Transnational Education 

"Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught"--Oscar Wilde

Transnational Education refers to all types of higher education study program, or sets of courses of study, or educational services in which the learners are located in a country different from the one where the awarding institution is based. Such program may belong to the education system of a State different from the State in which it operates, or may operate independently of any national education system.

Distance Education is  a mode of educational delivery, whereby, the teacher and learner are separated in time and space, and instruction is delivered through specially designated materials and methods, and supported by organizational and administrative structures and arrangements.

You may be surprised to discover that you can earn college credits or a college degree itself from past schooling and lifelong learning experiences. Each year you grow older you accumulate life experiences. The experience in and of itself, however, is not what earns credit but the student's competencies.

We award credits only if the acquired credentials are equivalent to what would have been taught in a college level and students have sufficient, verifiable and demonstrable academic knowledge and technical skills supporting their claims.

Our mode of delivery is "Blended Learning" which is a mix of delivery methods that have been selected and fashioned to accommodate the various learning needs of a diverse audience in a variety of subjects. This is an Open Learning method which includes the following blended solution approach:

Instructional Communication Systems

"The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said"--Peter Drucker 

Voice--Instructional audio tools include the interactive technologies of telephone, audioconferencing, and short-wave radio. Passive (i.e., one-way) audio tools include tapes and radio.

Video--Instructional video tools include still images such as slides, pre-produced moving images (e.g., film, videotape), and real-time moving images combined with audioconferencing (one-way or two-way video with two-way audio).

Data--Computers send and receive information electronically which include:

Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) - uses the computer as a self-contained teaching machine to present individual lessons.

• Computer-managed instruction (CMI) - uses the computer to organize instruction and track student records and progress. The instruction itself need not be delivered via a computer, although CAI is often combined with CMI.
• Computer-mediated education (CME) - describes computer applications that facilitate the delivery of instruction. Examples include electronic mail, fax, real-time computer conferencing, and World-Wide Web applications.

Print--is a foundational element of St. Linus' online education and the basis from which all other of its delivery systems have evolved. Various print formats are available including: textbooks, study guides, course syllabi, and others.

Self-Directed and Self-Paced / Independent Learning Program

“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them”--Aristotle

The below are the unique features of St. Linus University (SLU) degree programs:

1. Accreditation: The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) authorizes St. Linus University to offer academic programs in the Philippines via St. Linus Online Institute. The International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQHAAE) recognizes the CHED-accredited academic institutions in the Philippines. The CHED is  also recognized as a stand-alone accrediting institution by Accrediting Organizations, Quality Assurance Agencies and Ministries of Education worldwide. See the International Directory of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and other International Organizations that Address Quality Assurance Issues.

2. Delivery: SLU's distance learning study materials are designed for self-directed independent study by the students with a continual guidance provided by the instructor through frequent evaluation of students mail-in answers. Each module consists of learning material including practice exercises with solutions and multiple choice examinations or assignment. The mail-in answers, as they arrive, are read carefully by experienced distance learning faculty and will be returned to the student with constructive comments and letter grades. In some cases, a research paper may be required. In general, students study one module at a time, which will enable them to focus on the subject being studied. Students will be given pertinent guidance until all the requirements for graduation are met.

3. Home Study: The ideal way for busy people to train. The home is the "Campus of Choice" for millions of online students around the globe. Home study lets you develop solid career skills while learning at your own time, without disrupting your job, your family, or schedule of leisure activities. You can find all text, study packages and other relevant materials from the university website library.

4. Assessment:  Assignment, tutorials, case studies, projects, thesis or dissertation, open book exams, etc let you lock-in the skills you learn.

5. Flexible Program:  Although highly demanding and rigorous, this program has been designed to meet the needs and requirements of busy people. The course continuity will not be affected if a student does not pass a particular module. A retake of examinations is allowed and can be done when a student is ready. The program is designed to boost your personal development while maintaining your employment. All additional services and administrative backup required for the successful completion of this program will be provided.

6. Fees: The fee structure is developed to minimize cost incurred by students and is kept at the lowest level. Various payment plans are provided in the admission form to meet the requirements of different income groups.
