Navigating World Wide Learn

What is World Wide Learn?

World Wide Learn is an Internet directory site, meaning that we are a central point on the Internet offering organized links to hundreds of other websites, similar to Yahoo or Google Directories.

We are the world's largest web site offering links to universities, colleges and training companies offering on campus and online degree programs, courses, training modules, professional continuing education credits and other on campus and online education programs.

World Wide Learn does not provide any of the listed courses ourselves. If you want information about specific courses or programs, please contact the school or institution through our handy form or visit their website.

World Wide Learn only lists degree programs, professional continuing education courses and training programs that are accredited by recognized accrediting associations (read more about the importance of accreditation).

World Wide Learn is a pop-up-window-free site!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are your on campus and online degrees accredited?

World Wide Learn only lists degree programs that hold proper accreditation and licensing. Degree programs that are listed in our directory are regionally accredited (ie. US universities and colleges); or are licensed/approved by government regulatory authorities (ie. Canadian, Australian, and international universities). A few exceptions are vocational training offerings which are accredited by DETC.

Can you send me a catalog?

World Wide Learn does not publish a catalog. World Wide Learn is a directory and lists hundreds of degree and training programs and courses. If you would like to receive a catalog from a particular university or learning provider, you will have to request one from that learning provider.

How much do your on campus and online courses cost?

Because we list hundreds of course and program offerings from outside providers, World Wide Learn does not normally publish pricing. You will have to click through to the site that you are interested in to find out pricing, registration details and any other information you are looking for.

Could you tell me if there is any recognition for completing the campus and online courses offered?

World Wide Learn lists a wide variety of online courses - from general interest learning, vocational training courses, to courses for college credit. A course that is offered for fun or for general interest may or may not offer a certificate of completion. A vocational training course will generally include a certificate of completion or an award of some kind. Continuing education courses will include the applicable credits. College courses will include credits. You will have to click through to the site that you are interested in to find out the exact award/credit info.

Do you have a course in ...?

If you cannot find a course through the links on the home page or through the menus on the left side of the page, we have a powerful search engine that will list any information on the website. Look for the search boxes on the left hand side of the page.

Search Tip:
example search phrase: "early childhood education"

Without double quotation marks around the phrase, the search results will return every instance of early, childhood and education on the website, giving too many results to look through easily.

Surrounding the phrase with double quotation marks: "early childhood education" will return only the instances of early childhood education on the site, making the results much easier to review. This works well on Google, Yahoo and other directories, too!

Will my credits transfer?

Whether you're transferring credits in to a school listed on World Wide Learn, or from a school listed on World Wide Learn to another school, it's necessary to ask the school that you would like to accept the credits. Each school has its own policy and evaluation procedures and various factors are involved, including accreditation and applicability to your degree program. Since all of the schools listed on World Wide Learn are accredited, transferring credits is generally a matter of evaluation for applicability.

Are scholarships or financial aid available, or will my VA benefits apply?

It's always a good idea to ask any school what types of loans or grants are available - each has its own resources. In the U.S. a school becomes eligible to accept federal aid upon accreditation, but ultimately it's up to the school, so select a few and then check with them.

You may also wish to visit our financial aid and scholarship website section: http://www.worldwidelearn.com/financial-aid/index.html

I am interested in being an online instructor. Do you have any vacancies?

World Wide Learn does not offer courses or programs directly, rather we are an online directory of education (think "Yahoo" but for online education only) and so we don't have a need for instructors.

We suggest that you try this website:
http://www.academiccareers.com/

How do I list our school's programs?

We are always looking for new online accredited degree programs and online education resources to include at WorldWideLearn.com. Please submit your course listings or degree program listings via our submission form located here: http://www.worldwidelearn.com/about-worldwidelearn/submit-site.htm. We will then evaluate for possible inclusion in the World Wide Learn directory.
