Touro University Worldwide

Touro University Worldwide (TUW) spawns from a legacy of online learning within Touro University System. Initially modeled upon the Robust Learning Model (RLM), the founders, the late Drs. Edith and Yoram Neumann of blessed memory, built the first university program in the world to offer an accredited, fully online Ph.D. program with no residency requirements. In 2012, TUW promoted advanced concepts fostering academic success, which serves as a testament to the powerful learning environment built into the current system.

LEARNING ANYTIME, ANYWHERE With dynamic, online degree programs that cater to both the busy schedules of adult learners and the

career advancement needs of professionals already in the workforce, TUW is committed to developing a passionate, connected learning community to help students achieve their individual academic goals on their own schedules. Whether they are jump-starting a career or getting a boost up the corporate ladder, TUW students are given the tools to gain the communication, critical thinking and leadership skills needed to advance and succeed.

DEGREES AND PROGRAMS TUW has educated a wide array of students—from a Screen Actors Guild administrator whose degree paved the way to a national executive role to a high-ranking military officer who earned a degree in industrial psychology. Through its fully regionally accredited online courses, students can earn associate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in a variety of subjects, including business administration and business analytics; industrial organizational and human psychology; social work, psychology, marriage and family therapy; health sciences; and healthcare administration and health education.

A GLOBAL EXPERIENCE TUW’s online academic experience is fully supported by highly qualified academic faculty, outstanding administrative services and cutting-edge technology. Taking classes and earning degrees through new media and communications from anywhere in the world, the diverse student population learn by following a scholar-practitioner approach and directly applying course content to careers or professions.

MILITARY FRIENDLY With its access, affordability and flexible schedule, TUW is a perfect fit for the logistical challenges facing government workers and members of the armed forces pursuing higher education. As the name suggests, TUW provides access to classes and assignments from anywhere in the world and offers courses that accommodate military members on active duty, as well as those transitioning out of the armed forces and into civilian life.

Coralanne Griffith-Hunte, PsyD

Human Rights Activist

Dr. Coralanne Griffith-Hunte possesses what she calls a “willful pursuit to persevere.” In 2014, she was so debilitated from years of back surgeries and breast cancer treatment, that she had zero energy. A wife and mother of four, with several degrees and professional achievements, Dr. Coralanne, as she’s called, then 41, could have rested quietly and recuperated. “No way,” she says. “I decided to get a doctorate to make my brain work again, get it going!”

In 2018, the Barbados native was awarded a doctorate in psychology from Touro University Worldwide. Dr. Coralanne, now 49 and living on Long Island, chose the school because, “They said, ‘Tell me about you,’” she says. “I talked, they listened, they talked, I listened, we collaborated, just the way communication should work. The professors brought things out of me I didn’t even know were in there.”

Among her successes, Dr. Coralanne has received the New York State Senate 2019 Woman of Distinction Award and the 2019 Humanitarian Award; in 2020, she joined the United Nations 58th Commission for Social Development to end homelessness and assisted in developing the UN’s Resolution on Homelessness. In 2021, she spoke in Switzerland at the Geneva Centre for Human Rights Advancement and Global Dialogue, and was featured in Forbes magazine in May 2021 for her expertise on the effects of mass incarceration and post-traumatic prison disorder.

She doesn’t just dish out advice, she takes it: “It’s okay not to be okay,” she says. But with a caveat: “Don’t wallow. Get up, get going!”
