College Economics Credits Available at Chesterton Through Ave Maria University

Another opportunity is available for Chesterton Network scholars to earn transferable college credit while still in high school, and this time it’s in economics.

Ave Maria University’s microeconomics course, (Econ 202) is an online elective junior and seniors can use to accumulate college credits early as they finish high school core courses and their schedules free up.

Chesterton scholars continue to receive college credits for core curriculum courses they take (like philosophy, theology and chemistry) through the Advantage Program at Franciscan University of Steubenville. While many high schools offer economics courses, Ave Maria’s course is taught by a professor with a Ph.D. from Notre Dame University.

Here are some program highlights:

·  Four transferable college credits

·  100% online, asynchronous format with no set meeting times (fit the course in as your weekly schedule allows)

·   Average time commitment of four hours per week

·   Personalized support from AMU’s online education team

·   Zero material fees—everything is provided

·   

Only $600 total (a fraction of standard university tuition)
