Our students love the freedom, flexibility and support we offer. See what they're saying about Sophia's courses.

Introduction to Sociology

by Nicholas I. on June 22, 2018

Everything went great you gave me an extension when life was getting in the way and Tech support was able to fix my computer when The ID milestone looked like it would need to be posponed thank you!

Introduction to Sociology

by Jennifer H. on June 20, 2018

This was my first Sophia Course. I thought this course was challenging yet informative. There is a lot of information so take notes. Some questions in the Milestones are up for debate in my opinion. Zach was my favorite instructor. There is an ID Verification Milestone but it was easier than I had anticipated.

College Algebra

by Marilyn I. on June 17, 2018

Sophia Learning is the best online course!!!! They work with you, understanding that life happens. I feel they truly care about your success. I highly recommend them. Thank you, Sophia Learning, because of you I can now apply for nursing school.

Approaches to Studying Religions

by Synkeithia H. on June 16, 2018

I really enjoyed taking this course.

Human Biology

by Charlotte T. on June 15, 2018

Please thank Amanda Soderlind for her incredible tuition throughout this course. I selected her as my favourite tutor and very much enjoyed her videos.

US History II

by Abigail L. on June 13, 2018

If you want to know more about what happened in history (to date), take this course! It covers from the Western Conquest, all the way up to America in the 21st Century! This class is helpful!

College Algebra

by Adrianne S. on June 12, 2018

College Algebra

by Mezan G. on June 11, 2018
