05/24/2005NEW YORK -- He has built buildings, written books, married models and starred in a reality TV show. On Monday, Donald Trump announced his latest venture: Trump University.
Don't expect ivy-covered walls or a football team. Trump University will consist of online courses, CD-ROMS, consulting services and Learning Annex-type seminars -- all geared toward working business professionals.
"In today's hyper-competitive business climate, the need for the highest quality education has become more crucial than ever," said Trump, host of NBC's "The Apprentice" and a graduate of the Wharton School of Finance. "But people are looking beyond the traditional business education model, which involves hours in the classroom and relies primarily on book learning."
The for-profit university will not offer degrees or grades. Courses will cost $300 and will take one to two weeks to complete. Longer courses of two to three months will be offered in the future.
