A new academic model

A tuition-free online degree, priced by your performance.

American Global Tech University separates learning from cost. Every student gets free access to premium courses from Harvard, MIT, Cambridge and UC Berkeley through our edX partnership. You only pay an assessment fee to convert your learning into accredited university credit — and your GPA decides how much of that fee is waived.

FL Dept. of Education

AGTU is licensed by the Florida Department of Education, Commission for Independent Education (License #12506), with full authority to award degrees.

ASIC Accredited

AGTU is accredited by ASIC (UK), one of the world's leading accreditation agencies for international institutions.

How AGTU Works

Learn free. Pay only for the credit you earn.

Your program is built from thematic academic TERMs. Each TERM gives you a free Professional Certificate — and the option to convert it into university credit at a price set by your grades.

1

Open every course — at no cost

Enroll and unlock all the courses in your TERM for free. Progress sequentially: pass each course assessment to unlock the next.

2

Submit your TERM project

Complete a project, applied essay, or portfolio that demonstrates mastery of the TERM's theme — the gateway to academic credit.

3

Earn your GPA & a free certificate

Our AI assessment grades your work and calculates your GPA. You receive a Professional Certificate for the TERM — completely free, whether or not you pay for credit.

4

Your GPA sets your tuition

To earn accredited university credit, pay the TERM assessment fee — reduced by your GPA-based scholarship. A 4.0 means a 100% scholarship: you pay nothing.

Two ways to win

One enrollment, two outcomes.

Free Professional Certificate

Finish a TERM and walk away with a recognized Professional Certificate at zero cost — a credential for your résumé and LinkedIn, no payment required.

Accredited University Degree

Convert your certificates into US-licensed academic credit toward an Associate, Bachelor's or Master's degree. Pay only the GPA-discounted assessment fee — as low as $0.

The pricing engine

The better your grades, the less you pay.

No institution at scale ties tuition to current academic performance the way AGTU does. Every fraction of a GPA point translates directly into savings — from a 50% scholarship at the passing threshold to a full ride at the top.

  • 4.0 GPA — 100% scholarship, you pay $0.
  • 3.0 GPA — a 75% Bronze scholarship every TERM.
  • 2.4 GPA (C-) — the minimum for a 50% scholarship.

Frequently asked questions

Tuition-free online degrees, explained.

What is a tuition-free online degree at AGTU?

A tuition-free online degree means the learning material costs you nothing. At AGTU, you get free access to all your course content. You only pay a small assessment fee when you want to turn that learning into official university credit — and even that fee is reduced (or fully waived) based on your grades.

Is it really free? Where is the catch?

There is no catch. Studying and earning a Professional Certificate is genuinely free. The only cost is the assessment fee for converting a completed TERM into accredited degree credit. If you earn a 4.0 GPA, your tuition-free online degree stays exactly that — free. Lower grades simply mean you pay a portion of the fee.

What is a "TERM" and how does the program work?

A TERM is a themed block of courses focused on one professional skill. You take the courses for free, pass a short assessment after each one, then submit a TERM project. Our system grades it, gives you a GPA, and issues a free certificate. You then decide whether to pay the (GPA-discounted) fee to earn university credit toward your degree.

Is an AGTU degree recognized and accredited?

Yes. AGTU is licensed by the Florida Department of Education, Commission for Independent Education (License #12506), and accredited by ASIC in the United Kingdom. Your coursework draws on content from Harvard, MIT, Cambridge and UC Berkeley through our edX partnership.

Do I need a credit card or any payment to start?

No. You can enroll, study, and earn your first free Professional Certificate without paying anything. You only choose to pay when you are ready to convert your learning into official degree credit.

What degrees can I earn tuition-free?

AGTU offers Associate, Bachelor's, MBA and Master's programs across Technology, Business, Law, Health and Education. You can browse the full list on our Programs page. Every one of them can be pursued through the tuition-free online degree model.

Who is a tuition-free online degree best for?

It's ideal for motivated learners anywhere in the world who want a world-class, US-licensed degree without taking on debt — students, working professionals, and anyone whose budget has kept higher education out of reach.
