CIIS is a pioneer in online education, and was one of the first graduate institutions in the world to offer programs online. Over the years we have developed a truly remarkable online educational experience. With an increasingly international student body and a distinguished international faculty committed to offering innovative programs, CIIS’s fast growing online offerings include courses from a variety of CIIS programs, and provide a truly integral education.

Our online programs and courses offer high quality education within a community of like-minded learners from diverse backgrounds. The plurality of perspectives in the course provides an extremely stimulating learning environment. CIIS online courses provide a high degree of both intellectual and personal connection. One of the outstanding features of our online educational process is the learning community, which supports and at the same time challenges students to exceed their own expectations.

Students may enroll in one of the online degree programs, or choose selected individual courses, either for credit or as an auditor.
