He's built buildings, written books, married models and starred in a reality TV show. On Monday 5/23/05, Donald Trump announced his latest venture: Trump University.

Don't expect ivy-covered walls or a football team. Trump University will consist of online courses, CD-ROMS, consulting services and Learning Annex-type seminars.

"In today's hyper-competitive business climate, the need for the highest quality education has become more crucial than ever," Trump said. "But people are looking beyond the traditional business education model, which involves hours in the classroom and relies primarily on book learning."

The demands of today’s competitive global economy make it imperative that you upgrade your skills constantly; learning and success are two sides of the same coin. However you define success, the need to take charge of your own education has never been more critical. Trump University’s world-class business curriculum is designed according to the principle of Learning by Doing. We continue to develop new and innovative courses and will be steadily adding to our curriculum over time.

Roger Schank, professor emeritus and founder of the Institute for Learning Sciences at Northwestern University, will act as chief learning officer.

Schank, who joined Trump and other faculty members at a Trump Tower news conference, said the school would emphasize "learning by doing."

"The problem with school is that school is a little academic, a little theoretical, not necessarily practical," Schank said. "It doesn't necessarily serve the general public, who may just want to know how to do something."

St. Augustine Medical Assistant School has lauched its distance education program for Medical Assistants in 2003 and is leading the world in the education of a new generation of Medical Assistants.
