Asbury Academy is a dual enrollment program for high school juniors and seniors. This program provides opportunities for high school juniors and seniors to take general education requirements at the University level (100- and 200-level courses), enabling them to complete high school and earn University credit through dual enrollment.
On Campus
Enrollment in the Academy allows high school seniors to take four (4) credit hours on campus during the fall and spring semesters (summer session not included) with no tuition charge. Seniors may also take additional classes (up to 15 credit hours) during each of these two semesters at a reduced tuition rate of $499 per credit hour (less than half our traditional tuition rate). Juniors can also take classes on campus; the tuition fee is $499 per credit hour. The free class is reserved for high school seniors only. On campus Academy students can choose to register from over 80 classes.
Online
Asbury Academy also offers courses online. These classes are offered in an intensive format – each course is only 8 weeks long, requiring a high level of academic discipline and motivation on the part of the student. Due to the concentrated nature of these classes, a student may only be enrolled in one course at a time. Asbury’s semesters are 16 weeks; a student interested in taking more than one online course may do so with consecutive classes.
Online courses cost $144 per credit hour (more than 80% discount off the regular tuition rate.)
