Philosophy and the Bahá'í Faith

You may join our online learning community either as an individual or as part of a study group (2 to 20 people). In either case, you can do all your work at home at any time of the day or night. We assign mentors to individuals and to groups to advise, encourage, assist, and answer questions. Groups are expected to meet every week or two for group discussions. Web-based forums connect all learners—individuals and members of a group--to the insights and perspectives of fellow students from all over the world.

To form a group, ask some friends whether they'd like to take the course with you. If at least one other agrees, go into the registration system, establish a group, and pay for it. Be sure to select “group” rather than “individual” on the first screen. Then follow the guidance here: Study Alone or in a Group on how to add additional study group members, and to manage the payments, which can now be done individually.

Tuition support is available for all who need it. See the Wilmette Institute's Tuition Support Policy, then email learn@wilmetteinstitute.org to join the support program.

Note: All our courses are "asynchronous," which means there is no work that has to be done at a particular time. You can do everything at any time. For more information, go to http://wilmetteinstitute.org/ourcourses/frequently-asked-questions/.
