Akamai University is an online graduate school, designed for mid-career adult students. We foster educational techniques that empower adults to think beyond the confines of the classroom, and build new learning and achievement fully engaged with their professional endeavors. We offer online degree programs in business, economic development, education, health, energy medicine, psychology, information technology, humanities, sustained human development and environmental studies. Our advanced model of distance learning is based upon one-on-one mentorship, individualized external projects and guided independent study. We respect each adult student as a unique individual, academically and professionally, deserving programs of study that are nonresident, self-paced, individualized and interdisciplinary in nature. Our mission was established on the belief that amelioration of world problems and the creation of sustainable lifestyles and global practices are the hallmarks of responsible individual and corporate world citizenship. We have achieved substantial recognition across the international community.
