Marco Polo International
University Tradition

Marco Polo University's uncommonly dynamic academic vision stands on the shoulders of such luminary academic giants, both individual and institutional, as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Plutarch, Einstein, Oxford and Cambridge Universities, and others in its quest to produce world class collaboration worthy thinkers. 

Marco Polo University's education process develops thinkers whose minds are not confined to the vestiges of the industrial era, which is still dominant today. Accredited educational practices that encourage group think, political correctness, and the 'mere reflection of other men's thoughts' have been the product of this past century's more dominant university teaching process, rote memorization. 

Much criticism has been leveled at the modern process of accredited higher education from virtually all quarters, students and professors alike. The words of the prophets may be heard in the comments of students virtually everywhere, such as, “I forgot everything I learned in college”; “the methods in modern education are the most inefficient methods ever devised”; “it's boring”; “I don't know why I am even in this class (or in college), it's just not relevant”; “I don't get anything out of lectures”; “today's college graduates just can't think or contribute”. 

Why do nation after nation admit their educational process is a failure? Why do only a small percent of the students entering college actually complete even their Bachelor's Degrees? 

What of the wisdom of the luminaries who have been so instrumental in producing some of the western world's greatest minds over the centuries? What is their wisdom? What is their example?

  • Plutarch -- The mind is a fire to be kindled, not a vessel to be filled.”

  • Albert Einstein -- “It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry.”

  • Dorothy Sayers, noted Oxford University scholar, observed, “For the sole true end of education is simply this: to teach the students how to learn for themselves, and whatever instruction fails to do this is effort spent in vain."

  • Oxford University, founded in 1096, stands head and shoulders above almost all others with its 500 year tradition of providing each and every student with their own personal tutor. During the centuries that this awesome tradition has continued, Oxford has graduated a seemingly endless line of hundreds of notables, classic scholars, and leaders including Kings, Nobel Prize winners, Prime Ministers, Saints, Cardinals, and Archbishops.

"The best accreditation an institution can have is to turn out a product which shows they have been properly educated. In other words, you, the students, are the real accreditation. This is what established Harvard, Yale, Princeton and the many great universities ...their product.
Not some agency."

-- Richard J. Hoyer, PhD, MD, EdD, MS, BS, BA

Marco Polo University rejects the ' run of the mill ' accreditation governed educational models that are found in the USA and elsewhere. The Marco Polo University learning system incorporates experiential project based learning, auto didactic research and writing, an online adaption to Oxford style tutoring and small group collaboration in a rich, Socratic like, critical thinking environment to formulate its own powerful and effective e-learning program. The development and exercise of high quality independent critical and creative thinking, together with the development of the students' ability to learn for themselves, are the classic primary learning objectives at Marco Polo International University.
