Jones International University
School Information
Jones International University was founded in 1993 as the first university to exist entirely online. And, in 1999, JIU became the first fully online university to be accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, a member of the North Central Association (www.ncahigherlearningcommission.org, 312.263.0456), an accrediting body for institutions of higher education in the United States.
A large majority of JIU students are working adults who want to continue their education while balancing their career and family at the same time. For these non-traditional students, attending classes on campus is not feasible with scheduling conflicts, business travel, and childcare issues. This is why JIU was created.
