Dear Fellow American,

As the new school year begins, it’s a great time for people of all ages to learn something new and exciting. We’re all called to improve our minds whether we’re returning to school this Fall or past our days sitting in a classroom.

Through Hillsdale College’s free online courses, you can pursue a lifetime of learning for free and at your own pace. 

Hillsdale’s 40 free online courses provide a world of intellectual exploration where you can engage with a like-minded community and increase your knowledge and understanding. 

With these courses, you can tackle the classic works of literature you’ve always wanted to read. You can overcome your fears of the “dismal science” and learn what makes the American economy prosper. You can finally understand what had seemed so complicated in freshman philosophy class. And, you can learn how to separate truth from fiction in America’s history.

Here are a few of our most popular online courses that have captivated the minds of learners:

1. C.S. Lewis on Christianity: Discover C.S. Lewis’s writings on Christianity, exploring morality, conversion, prayer, the Bible, suffering, and the afterlife. Timeless insights from classic works including Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, and The Abolition of Man.


2. The Genesis Story: Uncover the meaning and beauty of Genesis. Explore the complex relationship between God and man, the consequences of a rupture in that relationship, and the path toward reconciliation. 


3. Constitution 101: Explore the foundation of American governance by delving into the natural rights theory of the Founding, the link between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, the crisis of the Civil War, the Progressive rejection of the Founding, and the nature of modern liberalism.
