Understanding Academii
The Celsus Library of Ephesus was built in AD 117. One of the world's finest, it inspired the much larger Hadrian Library in Athens. It was constructed in AD 132, when the Roman Emperor Hadrian gifted it to the city of Athens. It was one of the largest buildings of its type—bigger than the size of a modern-day American football field.
Note that, at the time, libraries weren't typically used for lending resources, but for conducting research, listening to lectures, and taking courses from intellectuals visiting from various schools of learning. Below you will learn more about the Academii Library to understand how our curriculum is being built to help scholars prepare for careers in higher education.
Metamorphosis
Our Master Course
In its elemental form, the higher ed job search process is about one thing: Finding the right "person". Those preparing for an academic career must do more than just gather information; they must seek transformation. Our Master Course is "one course to rule them all." It challenges you as a higher ed job candidate to focus first on "becoming" and "being." This is done through our transformational learning experience called "Metamorphosis." It provides you with timeless insights from the greatest sources of Greek wisdom: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Christ (The Greek New Testament). By completing this foundational content, higher ed job candidates will (1) develop the grit to endure the rigors of an academic search, (2) forever overcome the debilitating Imposter Syndrome, (3) learn the secret to convincing search committees that you are the One, and (4) discover the four-factor Academii Strategy that shrewdly checkmates each step of the search process in your favor.
Gnostic Collection
Our 24 Course Academii Curriculum
The classic Academii curriculum is based on special knowledge, Gnosis (Greek: know-sis), which challenges Academii Scholars to focus on knowing and doing all that is needed to live the Good Life in the Academy's ivory tower.
The twenty-four inspirational volumes of this curriculum form the complete canon of what could be called the "Gnostic gospels on the academic search process." The courses in the Gnostic Collection are separated into four programs (Core, Honors, Fellows, and Scholars), with each program being comprised of six courses.
Each program is being developed to address four distinct phases in the academic job search process: (1) preparation, (2) candidating, (3) interviewing-hiring, and (4) on-boarding.
