UPDATE 9.15.23: More people than ever want to know what’s happening at Hillsdale College. In a country where radical progressives have turned many of the colleges into liberal ratholes, students and parents are looking for alternatives. Carly Moran of Hillsdale’s newspaper, The Collegian, writes:
More people than ever before are visiting Hillsdale College’s website, watching its videos, and enrolling in its courses.
The college attracted 10 million website visitors, 1.3 million new followers, 77 million YouTube viewers, and 560,000 new online course accounts in the last year.
“I think there are two important reasons for this growth,” said Kyle Murnen, director of online learning. “First, our faculty are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects, which makes it fun to learn with them. Second, so many colleges have abandoned a core education that many people complete their education without a serious study of great literature, history, theology, and philosophy.”
The college had nearly 1 million online course enrollments the past academic year. Murnen said that while many students are classical education teachers or homeschoolers, the vast majority take the courses out of a place of curiosity.
“We have a lot of students write to us that this is the kind of education they wished they would have received while in school,” Murnen said. “We try to attract new audiences by creating videos that emphasize the quality of our teachers and reveal the beauty and importance of a given subject.”

Next month, we plan to release our newest free online course, “American Citizenship and Its Decline.” The course features historian Victor Davis Hanson and is based on his latest bestselling book.
Because you’ve helped make these free online courses possible, I’d like to share an exclusive video from the new course with you.
You can watch the video we’ve prepared for you and pre-register for the new course by clicking the image below:
Please allow me to tell you a little more about this course and why we made it.
Our rights as American citizens are under attack by a series of fundamental challenges to free and representative government.
If we hope to overcome these destructive movements, we must first understand what citizenship is and the nature of the threats against it.
That’s why we are releasing this new free online course, “American Citizenship and Its Decline” on November 16.
In Dick Young’s opinion, the now very short-lived and collapsing Biden administration would do well to follow up after VDH! What’s the odds of that?
