A Few Clicks and the Semester Passed. 'Collegium Humanum is Nothing'

Newsweek reveals that the private university Collegium Humanum, offering fully online post-graduate studies, continues operations despite critical government oversight.

According to recent revelations by Newsweek, the private institution Collegium Humanum is described as significantly less rigorous compared to the Higher School of Vocational Education in Wrocław. Despite oversight from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and a critical report highlighting its operations, there seems to be little change in how the university functions. Journalists checked signals from various sources indicating ongoing concerns about the legality and standard of the online academic offerings at this institution.

Reports indicate that students are able to complete semestral coursework with minimal effort, sparking alarm regarding the validity of their education. One student, Michał, shared his experience of enrolling in human capital management, where he managed to finalize semester requirements with just a few clicks, raising questions about the educational value and standards at Collegium Humanum. Critics argue that this form of education undermines the quality of higher education in Poland.

The controversies surrounding fully online courses raise significant concerns about the integrity and accountability of private educational institutions. This case highlights the ongoing discussions about the quality of higher education in Poland, the regulatory frameworks governing online studies, and the implications for students and the labor market, where degree legitimacy is increasingly scrutinized. As institutions like Collegium Humanum operate under such questions, the need for reform and stricter enforcement of educational regulations becomes more pressing.
