Do You Any Questions About the ICGS Online Campus?
(1) Is the ICGS an accredited institution?
No, we do not ascribe to existing forms of academic standardization. The reason is because the historical development of university systems is deeply tied to structures that mainly seek to facilitate and serve the interests of nation states and corporations (corportism). In the 20th Century the eroding of the traditional liberal arts and open campuses of the past was replaced by corporate (foundations) sponsorships designed to educate a much needed managerial class for the Industrial Revolution. Consequently, entities like the Rockefeller, Ford, Mellons & Carneige foundations or philantropic donors flooded the colleges and universities with much needed resources, but to meet their own selfish designs. In addition, government funding of academic institutions was often tied to research for military projects or providing added resources for the captains of industry.
The ICGS seeks to maintain an independence from the controls that often come with foundation grants or public funding. Consequently, we rely almost exclusively on private gifts or the tuition fees assessed for our course offerings. However, see our tuition fees are quite low we are struggling to implement all the ambitious goals that have been setforth for this global institution.
(2) Do you offer financial aid assistance?
Yes, we offer "sliding scale" fees based on applicant's income and scholarship assistance.
(3) What is the tuition cost per semester?
The ICGS assesses tuition fees for courses on a 'Global Regional' basis with each "region" encompassing several countries/nation states. The fees are than computed on the basis of the "per capital income" averages for that nation and charges are calculated for the student on that basis upon application. The student should contact the "ICGS Admissions Coordinator" in their respective country for further details. You can view the global regions and learn how to "partner" with ICGS at the following link on our sister website (ikologiks.org).
(4) What are the admissions requirements?
The applicant must submitt a written Proposal for Admission that will be reviewed and processed by our Admissions staff. We do not reject applicants and all students are accepted provided they meet the governing admissions criteria for the current academic period. Please review the following link at our sister website for further information on admission policies of the ICGS.

(5) Tell me about the faculty and staff?
The faculty of the ICGS is recruited from around the world. We select our faculty not solely on their academic qualifications or degrees held. Instead, we identify their competence to teach a specific course based upon their real life experiences and an ability to integrate their subject material with other disciplines. The ICGS centers on the Ikologiks: Nine Principles of Life and in the principles it is advised that humanity must move away from "discipline theory" to an "integrated learning technique" that fosters the understanding of process theory as opposed to the "box" created in academic disciplines.
