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

by Sarah V. on October 20, 2026
It was fine. I would recommend keeping your own notes/examples in a journal to use. Was helpful to see my own calculating instead of rereading the verbal representation in the textbook during the milestones.
by Naneli B. on October 19, 2026
I learned a lot, and the tests were great. I had a very good experience
by Benjamin B. on October 19, 2026

One of the hardest courses I’ve taken. However, it’s very informative and will help me in my cybersecurity degree.

I also enjoyed this class! My previous knowledge and anatomy and physiology class came in really handy for some of the learning.
