Dual Enrollment Opportunities for High School Students
Earn an AA in the Humanities - with an Introduction to the Great Books
I wanted to put this out there for my Substack tribe in case it could meet a need.
As some of you may be aware, my current day job is serving as the President and CEO of Kepler Education, a marketplace that makes Classical Christian Education available, accessible, and affordable for families.
Kepler has offered dual enrollment opportunities for students for a few years now, but this year we joined forces with Faulkner University to offer an AA in the Humanities for college-bound students.
If you have a junior or senior in high school who is interested in dual-enrollment (earning college credit for classes they take in high school), Kepler’s dual-credit program might be for you. Here are five benefits:
Students can get a head start on their college career by taking up to 60 transferrable college courses at home.
Your families can save thousands in tuition costs and additional college expenses.
Students study with highly-qualified professors who teach from a classical and Christian worldview.
All courses are live, online university model courses.
Students 15-21 years of age can use Kepler Dual Credit as a gap year (i.e., work and live at home while completing college courses online).
You can view Kepler's AA Program of Study at this link, but we launched with the following courses this fall based on current student needs:
HU 2315 Western Tradition I A chronological investigation of humanity in Western society undertaken through the study of art, music, literature, politics, philosophy, and theology from antiquity to the late medieval world (ca. 1500 A.D.). The historical experience of man and his cultural expressions and values are interpreted through a Christian worldview as the best means to understand the nature of man. Prerequisite: Eligibility for EH 1301. Offered every semester.
HY 2320 American Cultural Heritage An analysis of the peculiar aspects of American cultural heritage including its European, social, religious, and political background. Offered each fall and spring on ground and online and each summer online.
HU 1309 Technology and Society An examination of key ideas and issues in the history and philosophy of technology through the use of Great Books readings. Readings may include, but are not limited to, works from the Bible, Bradbury, Postman, Aeschylus, Bacon, Lewis, and Berry.
There is still time to register but classes start this week, so you’d need to make a decision fairly soon.
