GREAT NECK, NY, July 30, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Intercultural Open University Foundation, a unique charitable educational foundation established in 1981, is expanding this Fall to include post-doctoral programs in social change. The specialized academic programs of the IOU Foundation are affordable and scholarships are available. The Foundation's continued goal is to make education collaborative, learner-centered, and accessible to underserved populations.

The Foundation has created a learning environment where serious minded and highly motivated learners can study at a distance under personalized mentored guidance to achieve social change in world communities.

The IOU Foundation is implementing its new post-doctoral programs in social change with expert faculty members from many nations around the globe. It will be a one year course of individualized study and graduates will participate in an annual conference on social change.

Selected learners in this new program will enhance their career track while tackling serious issues including peace, ecology, human rights, and pedagogy itself. The Foundation's unique structure offers learners the opportunity to delve into serious subject matters that might not be available elsewhere.

The IOU Foundation faculty is comprised of a group of dedicated educators who volunteer their knowledge, time and expertise to benefit future generations by mentoring very select learners who choose to be involved in working for global social change. Faculty members each bring over 25 years of experience with social change.
