Why are these courses free? Hillsdale College produces free online courses as part of its mission - written in 1844 - to provide “sound learning” of the kind needed to preserve “the inestimable blessings of civil and religious liberty.”

Hillsdale courses are based on a Christian worldview and are classically liberal in nature. The courses range from 9-12 lectures in length and are an easily digestible 20-40 minutes long. The course includes lectures, Q&A sections, quizzes, and readings (the reading assignments are linked handouts, no books required.)

Instead, Hillsdale depends entirely on private donations to supplement students' tuition.

Students who successfully complete this course will earn three college credits from Hillsdale College. The intention of these courses is for them to be widely transferable to other colleges and universities, but the decision on how or if they transfer depends upon the institution in which the student enrolls.

To complete a course you must watch all of the lecture videos, take all of the lecture quizzes, and complete the final quiz with a score of 80% or higher. Supplementary videos, readings, and participation on the discussion board are not required but do serve as ways to deepen and enrich your studies with Hillsdale.
