Americans looking to earn degrees at their own speed can now do so via their mobile phones after Cornerstone University tailored degree offerings in its business program to cater to students who prefer a self-paced program that can be completed on a smartphone.
“We developed the nation’s first mobile platform to deliver an accredited undergraduate degree and a master’s degree as well, all via your mobile phone,” Cornerstone University President Gerson Moreno-Riaño told FOX Business in an interview.
Moreno-Riaño said that the program launched in August and has about 250 students enrolled. Students in what’s known as the SOAR program can obtain an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in strategic business management, or a master’s degree in organizational leadership.
“One of the beautiful things we’ve seen is that the persistence rate from month-to-month is 91%, so students are sticking with this and completing it,” he said, adding that some students who transferred in with prior credits to complete a degree will be the program’s first graduates this year.
