About Everest University
Everest University began its venture into online learning
in the winter quarter of 1999 by offering five courses on
two campuses. After our initial pilot phase, Everest expanded
its online course offerings to include all nine Everest campuses
for the winter quarter of 2000. At the same time, we received
approval to develop online enrollment for any of the courses
within the standardized Business Administration program. In
the Fall of 2001, additional approval was granted to offer
the Accounting and Criminal Justice programs online.
Since the winter term of 2000, Everest has consistently added
courses within these Associate's and Bachelor's degrees. Today
all of the courses necessary to complete the degrees are available
online, which now includes Master's programs.
The courses are built and maintained on the eCollege platform,
which is media intensive and has highly effective pedagogical
and course authoring tools. All instructors are required to
complete an intensive teacher-training course, which prepares
them to teach and/or create a course following specific course
construction guidelines.
