The establishment of a university that offers the traditional
values as a learning center for students, a preserver
and disseminator of knowledge and a center of research
that benefits the planet scientifically and humanely
is, in itself, a challenging task. To enhance these
values with a transpersonal orientation (the integration
of cognitive, affective, physiological and spiritual
dimensions) amplifies this challenge.
There is also the task of utilizing a relatively nontraditional
yet highly respected distance learning delivery system
("university without walls") that allows students to
remain at home and continue their present employment,
family and/or other responsibilities. Through recent
technological advances it is now possible to have group
conferences, student advisement and technical support,
access to worldwide libraries, guest faculty presentations
and discussions, etc., wherever the student might be
located on this globe.
This online portal is developed for students whose
circumstances won't allow traditional access to our
outstanding bachelor's and master's degree programs.
Our online courses offer a new way for our students
to achieve the competitive edge in today's global economy.
Whether you have completed high school, are making
a career change or are attempting to achieve a life
long dream of a college education, Canbourne's online
program is designed for you. Through online courses
- the latest demonstration of our commitment to distance
learning - we invite you to join the ever-growing number
of traditional and non-traditional students that Canbourne
has successfully served.
At Canbourne, students have opportunities to learn
everything from architectural history to marine ecology,
from how to manage and motivate work teams to the best
ways of serving the health needs of populations, from
social work to urban planning, from managing an elementary
classroom to bringing the love of literature into the
life of a young child. In our Institute of Technology
students learn the computing and software systems skills
to become industry leaders. All of this and more is
open to those who join our international community of
inquiring, motivated students (undergraduates, postbaccalaureate
students, graduate students pursing master's degrees,
or those employing original research for their post-graduate
and doctoral degrees).
Having been on the faculty of many universities for
the past 45 years, I intend to utilize my skills, connections
and experience to provide a challenging, relevant and
flexible academic program to meet the needs of motivated
students, and join with our highly qualified faculty
to bring about a greater global consciousness.
Sincerely,
Paul C. Crosbie
