Our University Represents:

The Future of Education

Adam Smith University is a modern innovative University built for the real world. Since 1991, we’ve been providing distance learning options that fit into the lives of busy professionals. Our alternative approach to education allows returning adults to finish their degree in flexible formats from wherever they are.

We believe the benefits of online learning can be life-changing and should be accessible to all. While we’ve updated our offerings to include short on-demand certificate programs desired for busy professionals, many of our degree programs are still available in traditional correspondence programs. This allows us to reach populations other schools simply can’t, such as the incarcerated. Over time, we’ve refined our focus to become a leader in preparing business and technology professionals for career shits and advancements.

From the beginning, our affordable programs are designed with you in mind. They can be taken from anywhere, at any time. Want to do your schooling in a nightgown while the kids sleep or on a tour bus between cities? We’ve got you covered. We empower you to learn in a way that fits your very busy life. Our generous transfer credit policy and self-paced learning allow you to finish your degree in a shorter time.

We Take A Different Approach

Meet A Few of Our Teachers

At Adam Smith University, you’ll learn from the best. Our courses feature material from the best educators and are taught by professionals with actual experience in their fields. 

Our method of teaching is different from the traditional classroom. Our courses are presented on your schedule and can be taken your way. Our structure allows you to learn at your own pace. This means you can speed ahead through material you already know and that you can re-read anything you don’t understand. Unlike a live lecture, our school allows you to watch any video as many times as you need. 

We’ll quiz you along the way, that way you can be sure you’ve mastered the material before moving on to the next topic. We build concept upon concept. And, if you get stuck we are here to help.
