Asbury Academy

Asbury Academy is an “Early Access to University” program for high school seniors. This program provides opportunities for high school seniors to take general education requirements at the University level (100- and 200-level courses), enabling them to complete their senior year of high school and earn University credit through dual enrollment.

Enrollment in the Academy allows high school seniors to take four (4) credit hours during the fall and spring semesters (summer session not included) with no tuition charge. Asbury Academy students may also take additional classes (up to 15 credit hours) during each of these two semesters at a reduced tuition rate of $387 for the spring semester and $402 for the fall semester per credit hour (half our traditional tuition rate).

There are currently no online classes available for Academy students, all classes must be completed on campus.
