Asbury Academy
Asbury Academy is an “Early Access to College” program for high school seniors only. This program provides opportunities for high school seniors to take basic general education college requirements (100- and 200-level courses) before the freshman year while also enabling them to complete their high school senior year courses and earn college credit through dual enrollment.
Enrollment in Asbury Academy allows high school seniors to take four free credit hours each semester during Fall 2009 and Spring 2010; summer not included. Asbury Academy students may also take additional classes for up to 15 semester hours during each of these two semesters at a reduced tuition charge of $372 per credit hour (half our traditional tutition rate). Students may attend under the Asbury Academy for two semesters only, fall and spring.
