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.

At Hillsdale College we believe that a good education is essential to happiness and a free society, so we are making free online courses on the most important subjects. Our free online course, “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic,” offers you an opportunity to discover the remarkable story of Rome while enabling you to cultivate your curiosity and engage in lifelong learning.

The great figures of Rome show us the virtues necessary to secure a republic, and also the pitfalls that can lead to its collapse. Study Roman leaders such as Romulus, Cato, Cicero, and Caesar in order to learn from their great triumphs and failures.

I hope you enjoy the course. You can start your course on Rome here >>

Warm regards,

Kyle Murnen ’09
