Signum University

Welcome to Signum University

Signum is a nonprofit, digitally native educational institution focused on providing affordable education, training, and mentorship opportunities in a collaborative remote-learning environment.

Higher education is in need of an overhaul. Old-world colleges and universities are stuck in processes, policies, and paradigms that have stifled or stunted the many opportunities offered by digital tools and techniques.

And yet students are paying more than ever — indebting themselves for decades, possibly for life — in exchange for what amounts to a second-rate education that leaves them unprepared for work outside of academia (and possibly even for work inside it).

Given these things, Signum is undertaking a bold but necessary task to bring higher education into the 21st century. We’re not merely trying to overlay digital tools onto ages-old lecture-based classes — we are developing whole new ways of providing in-depth, interactive instruction remotely.

At the same time, we are working to reestablish the importance of the Humanities as a way to learn foundational skills applicable in everyday life and work, so that participants in our programs come away ready to accomplish their own goals.

In fact, helping individuals achieve their own goals is what drives our institutional pursuits. We want to help not only students looking to earn a degree, but also:

• lifelong learners seeking personal edification,
• educators trying to create better online learning environments,
• and employees seeking skills their employer can’t or won’t teach — among many others.
