What do you like best about Emeritus?

nothing because I signed up for a course online from Wharton and had a question. No one was available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Emeritus?

no personal service, and no way to get in touch with questions regarding their courses at Wharton Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Emeritus solving and how is that benefiting you?

None. I was interested in a course at Wharton and signed up, but when I could not reach anyone to find out when the course started, if I could defer, etc... there was no one to answer. It appears that Wharton has contracted these courses to Emeritus, but Wharton's Dean's office doesnt seem to know what courses or how to find someone to answer a simple question. I cancelled the payment and would not use this platform or recommend it to any academic institution because having an excellent name associated with a company that does not provide any support ultimately makes the institution look bad.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Emeritus?

I did a Postgraduate Diploma in Design and Innovation thinking at Emeritus. What i like is how they colaborate with top internationally recognised universities such as MIT, Tuck etc. I like the seup of being assigned to groups for some assignments so you can interact with your peers which i do not see on other online platforms. Their Weekly seminars with the isntructors as well as the rest of the people doing the program gives you the chance to discuss and network with people from different parts of the world.

Their teaching material is structured in short videos which are not boring as compared to watching a 1hr video, it keeps you engaged. They also provide reading matiarials and external resources which are very helpful. At the end of each course or program you get a valid credential which you can share, embed or add to your Linkdin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Emeritus?

The admissions does not make it clear why you are not eligible for some causes, had to write several emails to get to know that the cause s not available in my region. During application i was just told your application has been rejected without a detailed reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Providing affordable and flexible learning materials to people accross the world. They make it easy to learn from wherever you are as well as meeting with other people Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Emeritus?

I liked the interaction with students to practice negotiation skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The LMS was organized in a more or less intuitive structure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Emeritus?

I couldn't tell if it was the university's organization of the materials or Emeritus, but I didn't like receiving so many notifications initially. So making it more obvious on how to set notifications would have been nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
