One Day University
What exactly is One Day University?
One Day University is a community of learners who think that every day you learn something new is a good day. At One Day University, we find the most interesting and entertaining professors from the country’s most prestigious universities and ask them to share their most fascinating talks with our members. So whether you’re interested in Lincoln’s leadership, the science of aging or how to watch movies like a film professor — we have the perfect video for you.
How often do you add new content?
We bring new lectures to you every weekday (or close to it)! That’s nearly 5 a week or 260 a year.
How does One Day University decide which professors to work with?
One Day University spent the last twelve years finding the most popular professors at (150 and counting!) of the country’s most prestigious universities, including; Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, Columbia, Stanford and many others. All of the professors we work with are award-winning teachers who are recognized by their students and peers for their ability to inspire and engage. As a result, our lectures are as entertaining as they are informative.
When will live events come back? I miss them!
With the introduction of COVID-19, we have paused our live events for the time being. However, by joining our membership program now, you can enjoy One Day University’s fascinating lectures daily, from the comfort of your own home. You will also be able to access exclusive deals and will be first to receive information about our live One Day Universities as soon as they return.
I'd like to suggest a professor, can I do that?
Do you know of someone you’d love to hear speak? Are they a professor at a university? Do they talk about an interesting topic? Great! Simply write to us at [email protected] with their name (and ideally a link to them giving a lecture) and our talent staff will work to fit them into the schedule.
Can I order a One Day University Subscription as a gift?
