Prager University was founded in 2009 by Dennis Prager and Allen Estrin, and their mission statement was to challenge modern academia and provide a conservative alternative. Prager and Estrin saw the majority of colleges being left leaning as an ideological problem because in their opinion college is supposed to be a place where a student is exposed to wide ranging viewpoints not a place where they are indoctrinated in a single way of thinking. Prager University challenges brick and mortar college institutions by offering short easily digestible videos on a number of topics such as politics, history, economics, culture, news of the day, and even philosophy.
The popularity PragerU has gained from these videos is essential to their current trajectory. The videos are often around the 5 minute mark and center on providing a conservative viewpoint on the topic being covered in the video. Because their videos are so short they are easily digestible and shareable across platforms especially on social media. Furthermore, this video style has been coupled with animation and professional level video production which gives the videos even higher quality both educationally and optically. PragerU has also partnered with various conservative personalities and companies in order to broaden their reach and increase their own audience.
Currently PragerU is expanding and producing media such as kids content and podcasts which they put out on their Youtube channel, website, and app. In the future PragerU will continue to grow as sentiment around American universities continues to drop over their one sided viewpoints and stifling of other more conservative viewpoints.
