The course material for Workers' Universities is structured around a two-year program. Please click on a specific program to view the associated material.
The degree programs offered by a Workers' University should have a content-rich curriculum because students aren't going to discover the answers by themselves without guidance. A certified curriculum asks the right questions and provides students only what they need to know to answer those questions.
An open campus on main street, or in the town center, creates a public draw that revitalizes the area. The public can stop in to see what students and faculty are working on in the community. Large campuses can serve the region, whereas small college buildings can be scattered around to serve each town.
Expert faculty advise elected officials because they are familiar with the standards and helped write them. Long-term planning is better handled by the Workers' University because they are not pressured by political decisions and elections every four years.
