About Enterprise Education:

Enterprise Education provides an entirely asynchronous, online learning experience that adapts to the unique circumstances of each student. Our fully accredited bachelor's and master's degree programs, as well as non-degree credits, empower learners to shape their own educational journey. With 8 five-week terms for undergraduates and 5 eight-week terms for graduate students, our model offers unparalleled flexibility. You can learn at your own pace, and take breaks as needed. By using your everyday environment as your laboratory, you'll integrate your studies into your daily life. This makes our education ideal for busy professionals who seek to advance their careers while still honoring their commitments. We are committed to empowering our students to become the changemakers our world needs, wherever they are.

The Opportunity:

Unity Environmental University seeks enthusiastic individuals to serve as Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to develop undergraduate skills-focused courses in Social Emotional Intelligence, with a focus on understanding emotions in self and others. These self-paced one-credit courses will be offered asynchronously online. The courses will provide learners with opportunities to build and demonstrate mastery of skills such as identifying and labeling emotions in self and others, reflecting on emotional patterns and triggers, understanding how emotions influence attention and decision-making, and applying strategies for managing emotions in real-time situations. Students will also practice evidence-based methods for stress management, cultivate regular reflection habits to support growth, and demonstrate awareness of the role emotions play in goal achievement and effective teamwork. SMEs work closely with an academic dean and learning experience designer to advise on and develop curricula.
