Open Studies provides the flexibility to take courses that match your goals without committing to a full program. Whether you're unsure of your career path or simply want to explore new fields, you can sample courses across different subjects and industries. This allows you to progress at your own pace, earn credits toward a diploma or certificate, and build foundational knowledge that helps you discover what excites you. By learning one course at a time, you can gain confidence and make informed decisions about your future, all while advancing your education or career.

Affordable and Hassle-Free


You only pay for the courses you take and standard student fees—there's no application fee. This makes it a budget-friendly, risk-free way to explore your education. Whether you're upgrading for a career, earning transfer credits, or trying out different fields, you have the flexibility to learn without the financial burden of a full-time program. Invest in your future at a pace and price that works for you.
