            <title>Trump University: Bringing Real World Experience into the Classroom</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Trump University is undoubtedly a far cry from your traditional alma mater.  Rather than working towards credits or a degree, at Trump you learn real-world business skills that help you succeed in areas like real estate, entrepreneurship, and investing.  Trump University's e-learning programs apply the "learning-by-doing" philosophy that so many traditional curriculums lack.  The virtual programs offered are convenient, affordable, and allow you to hone your business skills despite your hectic schedule.  </p>

<h2>Why Trump University's Program Offerings Stand out from the Pack</h2>

<p>At Trump University, you'll learn an extensive amount of practical skills that can be applied to your life and work.   In a traditional classroom on the other hand, you have to sit through lectures and take multiple-choice tests to earn a degree that most likely won't teach you valuable money-making skills.  At Trump, you will learn about topics like real estate, investing, and entrepreneurship in the same way you learned how to ride a bike: doing it.  Would you learn how to ride a bike by reading a book about it?  Probably not, right?  Learning-by-doing is not a new concept but most traditional education programs, including those in the e-learning sector, are yet to apply it.  Trump is certainly ahead of the game in this regard.  </p>

<p>In the Trump University real estate program, you will learn step-by-step strategies that will help you earn up to millions of dollars as a real estate investor.  Trump University's investing program will teach you how to come up with a wealth-building action plan that even Donald Trump and his business experts would approve of.  As a student in the entrepreneurship program at Trump University, you will learn business-building strategies and receive personal coaching that will help you become a successful entrepreneur.  <br />
If you prefer to be face-to-face with your instructors, you can even attend live seminars held by Trump University.  These live seminars feature training retreats, workshops, and panels of business experts.  Live seminars held by Trump University are dynamic, interactive, and entertaining.  If you are the type of person who needs to be surrounded by like-minded people in order to become inspired enough to make your business goals a reality, attend a Trump University seminar in addition to taking Trump's hands-on e-learning courses.  </p>

<h2>How Professors are Chosen at Trump University</h2>

<p>The professors at Trump University are graduates of some of the most prestigious universities in the US, such as Dartmouth College and Columbia University.  However, the professors at Trump are not merely chosen for their academic credentials.  Professors at Trump are experts who have extensive real-world experience and track records of success in their industry in addition to being highly sought after in academia.  Trump University's selective faculty-hiring process reinforces its hands-on learning philosophy and value of real-world knowledge.</p>

<h2>What to Expect After Enrolling in Trump University</h2>

<p>Trump University is not your typical university or e-learning setting.  Your absolute attention and active participation will be required in order for you to succeed as a student at Trump University.  Each course at Trump consists of in-depth, dynamic assignments that you must complete in order to pass on to the next stage.  Each course will take you approximately six to twelve hours of online work to complete but it depends on how much effort you want to put into it.  There are always additional resources provided so you can further enhance your skills in a particular area.  At Trump University, students take their education into their own hands.  </p>

<p>Whether you are a small business owner, aspiring entrepreneur, or a seasoned investor looking for inspiration, Trump University's hands-on programs are an excellent way to give your career and personal life a potentially significant boost.  With Trump University's online learning programs, you'll have access to a world-class business curriculum that applies a learning-by-doing approach most traditional educational institutions are in dire need of.  If you want to receive practical knowledge and experience with your education, Trump University is the perfect choice for you.  </p>]]></description>

            <title>A Guide to Trump University: the Story behind Donald Trump&apos;s Foray into the E-Learning World</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p> Donald Trump is obviously a successful guy... so why would he bother creating an e-learning business?  For starters, Trump University is not your average online university.  There are no degrees or credits awarded and the short, focused lessons provided value practice over theory.  In essence, Trump University fills the gap left wide open by traditional educational institutions both online and offline.  We all know that we learn better by doing so why aren't more universities applying this philosophy?</p>

<p>At Trump University, budding businesspeople, aspiring investors, and small business owners alike can reap benefit from courses that teach hands-on knowledge and skills to help you succeed in real estate, investing, and entrepreneurship.  With Trump University's self-directed learning programs, you can learn everything from how to build an effective business plan to how to make millions of dollars as a real estate investor.</p>

<h2>How Trump University Began</h2>

<p>Donald Trump and the other masterminds behind Trump University launched this wildly popular e-learning program in 2005.  Before Trump University was in business, e-learning programs typically followed the traditional student-teacher classroom model.  While this model may work for a small percentage of learners, most successful investors and entrepreneurs can tell you that it requires either extensive know-how or practice to become successful in business.  Trump University skips over all the boring lecturing and tests and gets down to the nitty gritty details of what we all ultimately want to do as businesspeople: make money.  </p>

<p>Trump University chooses its professors based on both their academic credentials and real-world business experience.  Professors at Trump are typically successful both in academia and in their respective industries so students will get the best of both worlds.  Unfortunately, traditional M.B.A. programs teach very little about how to succeed as an entrepreneur or investor.  At Trump University, rather than working towards a virtually meaningless piece of paper (i.e. a degree), students can learn and apply practical knowledge that helped Donald Trump himself become as successful as he is today.  </p>

<h2>Why E-Learning?</h2>

<p>Trump University utilizes e-learning because it is convenient and affordable.  Rather than spending thousands of dollars studying at a local university with class times that clash with your work schedule, at Trump University you are provided with a reasonably-priced alternative that is easy to fit into your regular routine since you can complete the assignments in your own free time.  If you can't stand the idea of never meeting a single classmate or professor, Trump University also holds intensive live seminars across the US.  At a live Trump seminar, you will be able to participate in dynamic workshops led by experts in your field of interest.  </p>

<h2>Is Trump University Right for You?</h2>

<p>Generally speaking, entrepreneurs and business-minded people are self-starters.  Self-starters have difficulty excelling in a traditional learning environment that consists of lecturing, testing, and letter grades.  Trump University takes business education outside of the box and teaches real-world skills that students can easily apply.  The e-learning model happens to be the perfect way to implement a practical, world-class business education.    </p>

<p>If you are the type of learner who thrives in an educational environment that applies a hands-on approach, Trump University's learning-by-doing curriculum will be a great match.  At Trump University, you will have access to the knowledge that MBAs spend years trying to obtain to no avail: the formula for success.  Trump's comprehensive e-learning courses in entrepreneurship, business, and investing serve as both a powerful mentoring program and educational resource for budding businesspeople.  Why not take your success to the next level with Trump University?  At Trump, you'll learn skills that you can apply to your business or wealth-building efforts today.  <br />

You have to know what you're doing and be grounded in your approach in order to minimize your risks. </p>

<p>And let there be no doubt about it - there are landmines to avoid in the rocky field of real estate.</p>

<p>Everywhere you turn you get bombarded with get rich, money-making schemes in a down economy and news about investor fraud of epic proportions. Who can you depend on but yourself to maximize your investments in these volatile times? And who can you trust to give you all the tools and resources you need to invest with confidence? </p>

<p>Trump University teaches you how to be your own successful investor.</p>

<p></p>

<p>The innovative, results-driven real estate program of Trump University is unique from anything else out there. It's based on the undeniable, proven Trump way to wealth.

<p>Once you've made the smart decision to join Trump University, you're ready to climb on the bike and start pedaling. Since the courses are flexible, you can pace yourself.

Not only will it be an outlet for sharing your excitement about the new world that is opening up to you. It will also reinforce what you're learning. The more you talk, the more it sets into your muscle memory. </p>

<p>With your commitment and Trump University's proven program, you'll be surprised how quickly you'll be up to speed and cruising the real estate investment highway on your own.</p>]]></description>

            <title>Online Education</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Online education - it's convenient; it's flexible; and it suits your schedule and lifestyle. You've decided to enroll in courses at Trump University. Great. Now what? How do you get the most out of it? After all, it's your time and hard-earned money.</p>

<p>First things first: set your goals. Really define why you're doing this and what you want to achieve. Just be sure your goals are realistic and specific rather than lofty statements like: "to improve my life." Improving your life is great; just be sure you've got a clear picture of what steps you'll need to take in order to do that and how this course will help.</p>

<p>Find a way to separate yourself from distractions while you "attend class." Chances are good that your distractions are the very reasons the flexibility of online courses is attractive to you. They're things like your job, your spouse, and your kids. Let your family know how important what you're doing is to you (and to them). Create a schedule for yourself and ask them to respect it. It may mean that you have to carve out time either after the kids have gone to bed or before everyone gets up in the morning. Obviously, you can't ask your boss to leave you alone while you're studying or "in class." If this education will further your current career, your employer may be very understanding. A quiet spot during your lunch hour may fit the bill. You can study rather than joining co-workers for lunch. </p>

<p>Classes and seminars can bombard you with a wealth of information. Sometimes, it's too much, and it feels like it's impossible to digest it all! You're right. It is, especially when you're trying to learn amid juggling a family and job. For each Trump University course, plan on finding three nuggets of information that you can put to use immediately. That's it... just three. Keep a separate note sheet handy and jot them down.  You'll know which ones they are by the 'ah-ha' reaction you have when you hear or read them. If you have more than three, jot them all down, but select the top three to start.</p>

<p>Begin using those three bits of information immediately. Review them daily. Post them on your computer screen. Do that for a week or two until those three nuggets are ingrained. If you had more than three to start, go back and choose the others and begin putting them to work the same way. Or review your notes for other bits of information that you can use and begin the process over.</p>

<p>The beauty of online education is its flexibility and the opportunity to work at your own pace. If your class is produced as streaming video, for instance, go back and re-watch it a week or two later. Like everything else, chances are you missed some of the information the first time around. You could never pause and rewind a professor while sitting in a live class, but now you can, so don't hesitate to do that, especially during a complex point or something you find a bit confusing.</p>

<p>Don't be afraid to speak up and ask questions when you don't understand. Good instructors can tell by looking at their students if the information is getting through and making sense, but that benefit is missing in cyber school, so you do need to question them. Remember, the only dumb question is the one that goes unasked!</p>

<p>In all likelihood, your Trump University course will be a bit demanding since you're fitting it in to your already busy life, but it won't last forever and you'll be better for it. Self-improvement through education is an investment that never fails to pay off. You will reap the dividends and benefits. Keeping that in mind will help get you through the long days and reach the goal you set for yourself at the start!</p>]]></description>

            <title>Trump University: The Savvy Real Estate Investor&apos;s Alternative </title>
            <description><![CDATA[Trump University is the savvy investor's alternative to get-rich-quick schemes or years of trial and error. Years ago, achieving wealth was possible simply through hard work and determination.&nbsp; A person could make his/her own luck, and a college degree was not necessary to ensure a good life for the typical family.&nbsp; Today, of course, is a different story.&nbsp; Most people would agree that a college education is the bare minimum that's required to even just get by--let alone take care of the average family.&nbsp; Still, times are changing--and even degrees from the best schools amount to nothing more than framed receipts.&nbsp; People spend countless hours studying and paying rising tuition costs only to find that the current job market doesn't sustain them.&nbsp; How many of us know someone who's underemployed--or worse, unemployed?&nbsp; How many of us can't feed our families or pay our bills?&nbsp; Did we really spend all that time and money to be dependent on corporate America for our own well-being?<br /><br />If nothing else, the current economy teaches us the lesson that traditional methods of education are not the best means of achieving the level of success most of us want.&nbsp; It also teaches us that we must be creative and rely on ourselves for our own success.&nbsp; While things are bleak for many people, there are also many others who are finding their own niches of wealth.&nbsp; The next generation of entrepreneurs are rethinking the way they spend their time and hard-earned money to find their own way of building wealth.&nbsp; Real estate investing remains one of the best ways to build a fortune without relying on others; however, to be successful in this market, you have to stand out from the crowd.&nbsp; You don't stand out by having a college degree or even by working hard or being smart.&nbsp; Only the knowledge that comes from years of experience can transform a career.<br /><br />Trump University was established to give people the practical, step-by-step knowledge they need to succeed now in some of the toughest marketplaces in the world.&nbsp; Trump University faculty take techniques they've learned the hard way and transfer it over to students who then take these ideas and put them to work in a hands-on setting.&nbsp; Each student has the opportunity to spend time in the field with a mentor, putting all their studies to good use.&nbsp; Students also have access to invaluable retreats where they can learn about wealth preservation, creative financing, and how to add commercial/multi-family properties to their portfolios.&nbsp; There are also many opportunities to learn how to exploit the tragedy of the foreclosure market to build your own success story--step-by-step, no wasting time.<br /><br />A smart, hard-working entrepreneur can take the lessons from veterans and build a life.&nbsp; It is possible and happens every day.&nbsp; You just have to be willing to invest in yourself and Trump University.&nbsp; ]]></description>
