==WUaS Idea- and Academic Resources==
 
 
===Ideas===
 
If you are a high school student actively interested in applying to MIT OCW-centric WUaS in English, or know of one, this autumn 2013 - with complete applications due by January 1, 2014, at 12 pm Pacific Time - please email WUaS now at worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com with a brief letter just saying you're interested. Here's the link to the developing Admissions at WUaS page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Admissions_at_World_University_and_School. International students are very welcome.
 
The admissions' process, to matriculate at World University and School, will resemble the admissions' process to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (http://web.mit.edu/admissions/). WUaS would also like its online students engaging MIT OCW to be able, as overachievers, to study for a year, on-the-ground, at MIT in Cambridge, MA, during their WUaS studies, and to increase academic collaboration with MIT in multiple ways.
Line 85 ⟶ 134:
Begin studying, teaching, learning or creating now at this online, free, wiki "College at WUaS," - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - or via this MIT Courses' page - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/.
 
WUaS plans to accredit on MITbest OCWSTEM-centric OpenCourseWare with WASC (WASCsenior.org), in California, for its first, matriculating, bachelor's degree class, in the U.S. and in English (to start), in 20142015, and to graduate in 20182019.
 
(Online, wiki, virtual World University & School, with its first, matriculating, bachelor's degree class in 20142015, and with its free bachelor's, Ph.D., Law and M.D. degrees, accrediting on MITbest Open CourseSTEM-centric WareOpenCourseWare, will be able to STUDY HOW students learn, quite rigorously, - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Research - because this will be mediated by the internet, and WUaS is offering these degrees for free. Reed College's undergraduate degrees, with its required 1st year Humanities course, its junior qualifying exams, and its senior thesis, plus a required freshman, WUaS biology class with computer programming requirements, and further widespread computer programming requirements, the equivalent of 32 Yale OYC / MIT OCW/great (and rigorous) courses over approximately 4 years, and with a significant STEM science/mathematics/engineering/technology focus - is the main model for WUaS's undergraduate degrees presently. WUaS hopes to collaborate richly with MIT OCWbest STEM-centric http://ocw.mit.edu/ -OpenCourseWare in the process).
 
WUaS plans to offer something like 36 majors, based on these MITbest OCWSTEM-centric OpenCourseWare 36 main subject areas - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/ - as well as excel in science, technology, engineering and mathematics' fields.
 
WUaS will eventually accredit in at least 50-100 languages/countries, and as many as possible, to offer free, online, MITbest OCWSTEM-basedcentric OpenCourseWare degrees.
 
Accreditation to offer bachelor degrees is a 3 stage process, with WASC, with WUaS's first, matriculating, bachelor's degree class in 20142015 (graduating in 20182019). WUaS plans to graduate at least 1000 students, every year, with a bachelor's degree, in the online, free college.

WUaS is planning for a "Admitted Students' Day" for the first, matriculating bachelor's degree class, on or around the second Saturday, Aprilin 14thApril, 20142015, and the second Saturday of April for other degrees in the future.
