Our institution, which grants diplomas and certificates in the social sciences and the humanities, has more than 5312 students.
We prioritize providing students with a debt-free education and the opportunity to explore as much as possible.
As a non-profit school, we have professors who share resources with us and student representatives on our board of directors.
We are committed to democracy and aim to disseminate democratic networks and resources globally.
Scholarships are available so that those who otherwise would not be able to attend our school can.
This Global Center for Advanced Studies is what many of us, who are stuck in long-term academic institutions, have dreamed about for many years,” says a distinguished professor at Harvard University.
This is a great opportunity for me to demonstrate how academic life can become more relevant to everyday life, how scholarship can shed its academic jargon and become more accessible to a wider audience, and how critical thinking can give rise to fresh forms of writing that can reach both inside and outside the academy, where many are still waiting for spring.
