Quantic School of Business and Technology, also known as Quantic, is an online private business school based in Washington, D.C. Founded as Smartly Institute by Tom Adams in 2016, the school offers accredited executive degree programs through its proprietary mobile-first learning platform and is known for its unique pedagogy that uses gamified active learning methods.[3]

The school is owned by its parent company Pedago.[4] 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] The school does not require standardized exams such as GRE or GMAT for admissions.[5]

Active learning

Quantic uses an "interactive mobile 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 received institutional accreditation from the Distance Education Accreditation Commission in 2020. Quantic School of Business and Technology and its Valar Institute Division are licensed by the District of Columbia Higher Education Licensure Commission in Washington, DC and accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC). The DEAC is listed by the United States Department of Education as a recognized accrediting agency and is also recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
