The school is owned by its parent company Pedago.[4]

Admission to Quantic's degree programs is very selective. However, the school does not require standardized exams such as GRE or GMAT for admissions.[5]

It currently offers two programs, the standard Master of Business Administration (MBA) and the Executive MBA (EMBA) for those with more than six years of professional experience.[3]

Active learning

Quantic uses JetSet, an "interactive mobile university app" developed by its parent company Pedago.[6] It uses "active learning" methodologies through interactive and gamified learning modules as alternative to video lectures. Succeeding modules are unlocked after completing tasks such as quizzes from its prerequisite courses. Students are graded numerically and requires a passing rate of at least 80% to complete a course. It also has machine-based tutoring that helps provide individualized feedback to students.[7]

Accreditation

Quantic is the only degree-granting mobile-first graduate school in the world. It is licensed by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education in Washington, DC. It also received institutional accreditation from the Distance Education Accreditation Commission, a national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education.[8] It is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.[9][10]
