What our learners are saying
"My advice is to dip your toe in the water. Sophia is a wonderful place to begin. Being able to take general education courses at your own pace for a fraction of the cost of the same class at a college or university is a wonderful chance to explore and decide if you are ready to commit fully to pursuing your education."
Shannon Ford
University of Maine Presque Isle, Sophia Ambassador
"My experience with lab courses was wonderful. I was able to virtually do experiments and learn visually. It helped me look at the work I had already done in a different way. The lab courses were a really cool way to learn virtually and understand the material better."
Anna Daley
Excelsior University, Sophia Ambassador
"This is the type of flexibility I needed. I really couldn't have done it without the support of my friends, school and now Sophia."
Maggie Endlsey
University of Phoenix
"Sophia has been an incredible resource that has allowed me to continue to hit educational milestones without spending a huge amount out of pocket on tuition."
