A woman, who goes by the name Grandma Shasha, offered advice to Nigerians interested in pursuing education in the United States without the burden of tuition fees.
She highlighted a US institution known as the University of the People (UoP) and emphasized that degrees and certificates obtained from this university are globally recognized by employers.
In a TikTok post, Grandma Shasha explained that the University of the People follows a distinctive model wherein students are not required to pay tuition fees. Instead, the university charges nominal fees for processing and application.
Upon visiting the school’s website, it becomes evident that the fees for applications and processing differ depending on the academic level and specific courses chosen.
The application and assessment fees range from $100 (equivalent to approximately N78,000) to $300, which translates to about N236,000 using current exchange rates.
To provide a rough estimate of the cost of earning a degree at the University of the People, a breakdown was provided. Pursuing an undergraduate degree, for instance, would incur a total cost of $4,860, approximately N3.8 million.
An associate degree would cost $2,460, slightly exceeding N1.9 million. Opting for an MBA program would entail a fee of $3,660, equivalent to N2.8 million, while a master’s degree in education would amount to $3,960, or N3.1 million.
It’s worth noting that the University of the People operates exclusively online and is situated in Pasadena, California, USA.
A statement concerning fees at the UoPeople reads: “At UoPeople there is no cost for instruction, books, or traditional campus costs. Our mission is to make higher education affordable and accessible. Through our unique tuition-free higher education model, we have removed most of the costs for students to attend university. However, to keep our mission alive we do ask for a one-time application fee and minimal assessment fees per course to help fund general university operations and provide excellent services to our students.”
This approach aims to make higher education attainable for a broader range of students.
