Our students love the freedom, flexibility and support we offer. See what they're saying about Sophia's courses.

Introduction to Statistics

by Siobhan H. on August 16, 2018

The course was great up through Unit 5 (aside from a lot of typos), but I wasn't happy with Unit 6. The material was poorly organized, and many of the concepts were not explained thoroughly. I had to supplement a lot using other sources.

Approaches to Studying Religions

by Angela P. on August 16, 2018

Interesting course. Very easy to understand and well organized.

Introduction to Psychology

by Austin P. on August 15, 2018

Fun class! Very interesting

Introduction to Sociology

by Austin P. on August 14, 2018

The class can be completed quickly and is very informative

Human Biology

by Ashley M. on August 13, 2018

Some of the questions were not on the challenges or milestones. I wish the tutorials gave scenarios like the milestones and challenges did.

Human Biology

by Sheila V. on August 7, 2018

This course was pretty good. It's not something you can do in a day like some of the easier classes and you do have to sufficiently study for the tests, but I did complete it way ahead of their scheduled time line. It is probably not as thorough as a traditional course, but I like that the finals don't alter your score as long as you still pass them. It's also nice that they don't have to be proctored. I enjoyed learning many new things through this course. This course allowed me to gain sufficient credits to apply for my licensure through work.

Environmental Science

by Angela P. on August 6, 2018

This course was extremely interesting and I really enjoyed it!

Human Biology

by Brianna H. on July 29, 2018

One of my favorite classes yet. I learned a lot and it reaffirmed my love for the medical field. I highly recommend this course!
