- Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
I am so grateful for this opportunity to take free classes online 🙏 ❤ This is not only because I can't afford to attend college, it is because I am a Christian and have always wanted to attend a Christian College. I follow Kaci on TH-cam. She mentioned how much she loves Hillsdale College and told us that it was available for anyone to enroll. I instantly went to the website with the link she provided us and signed up. This is so exciting to me. I'm in the process of rearranging my busy schedule just to accommodate Hillsdale. My prayer time, my courses, and study time are going in my planner as the first priority. Thankful so much to Hillsdale College for this once in a life time opportunity. ❤😇
I'm exactly the same. I want a Higher education, and I want a Christian basis.
How do you get that kind of help?
I am so grateful for Hillsdale. My husband told me about the free courses. I read my Bible daily and pray Ephesians 1: 17-19 to increase my wisdom and knowledge in his word. 🙏🏻 Holy Spirit has been my best teacher by far. I also believe God uses others to help us learn his word. Thank you Hillsdale.
As a truck driver currently, I love listening to the videos that Hillsdale posts on TH-cam. They turn my truck into a rolling classroom.
No thanks
I just joined and enrolled in some courses too! Here's to us !!!
Love it!!
@@Slimehead123 You have no idea what you’re missing. Hillsdale is the best place for a classical Liberal Arts education. Students get out of it what they contribute.
Righteous!
Thank you for Hillsdale for the pursuit of truth and wisdom through Jesus Christ. May He bless America and turn our hearts toward God through faith and wisdom.
Our nation has been in serious rebellion against our great God and Savior Jesus Christ! 2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people, which are called by My Name, shall Humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and Turn (Repent) from their wicked ways, Then will I Hear from Heaven, and will Forgive their sin, and will Heal their land. We must turn back to God and His Holy Word, and pray to Him, and seek His face, and Repent of our individual and our national sins!
Thank you for the opportunity to receive free educational programs.
I am 78 year old retired R.N. During my career I always worked in a Christian hospital . As a nurse one is not only serving the sick and dying but are serving God.
God Bless

We need more places like Hillsdale, character building is an eternal investment, it will be nice to change sports (football, basketball, etc.) for trades like agriculture, welding, carpentry, electricity, etc. That would be more useful to the students and the Country.
AMEN!
I have several degrees but I believe you can never learn enough. At 77 years old, I continue to reach for more education. And Hillsdale is not a woke college it teaches value, not hate.
This video, this presentation of Hillsdale College made me misty-eyed!!
GOD Bless you all!!!
I'm glad to see that thanks to colleges like this, some students are still getting a classical education
do you know any other college that provides free education on their website like Hillsdale? I love what they are doing. It's just amazing.
This is amazing. Thank you!!! The world needs loyal Christian servants and we need preparation to bring followers to Christ Jesus 🙏❤️
I'm in my 70's and just signed up for these free courses. I donate every month what I can. I'm excited to start watching yours videos on religion. Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity!
Best college ever. I take online courses all the time. I donate every year. Thank you Hillsdale!
I had a classical education in Portugal and i had by far the best teenagehood one can dream of. In Portugal we have a school that takes you from 1st to 12th grade, so after 12 years you know your professors like family, and it was incredible. They had a good emphasis in character building, morality, civics and ethics.
How wonderful that system sounds you were fortunate. Thats so lacking in US education
"Freedom, Faith, Learning and Character" - wow what a combination of values on which the college is founded! And their motto "Strength rejoices in the challenge". I wish I could be somehow part of this college. In a way, I am part of their college because I'm taking some of the amazing courses they provide for free on their website. I do recommend their courses to all of you reading this. It's amazing and free and you will get a certificate of completion too(for free). I want to thank the president of the college Pr. Larry Arnn for making this possible and continuing the legacy.
I am so thrilled to join online classes at Hillsdale. I never attended college and always felt the lesser for it. Now, as a 65 year old / 15 yr Christian, I am learning about our world history to understand Biblical history and Christian history. I can't convey how excited I am to begin. God is the reason for my pursuit!
I'm a 57 year old Canadian. I'm a newly renewed Christian. I enrolled so that I can learn and get a true Education!
I am rapidly approaching age 69. These online classes are right up my alley now that I’m twice retired and have ample time to dedicate to learning and re-enforcing my knowledge. Thank you!
I am 67 I'm so excited to get into learning again
I just finished my first online class of The Great Principles of Chemistry and was pleasantly surprised at hearing the Psalmist mentioned. Loved this video on who Hillsdale College is and where it came from. Thank you.
The beauty of your mission is written in the beauty of your students' faces.
Hillsdale: The world needs this - continue being a light for illuminating the paths we need to follow to be knowledgeable God followers!
Today, where semantics mean everything, the term "liberal arts" is getting to be a term that has a negative connotation - for some it is a term which defines what the ungodly is using to educate young adults away from God. Is there another term we can use to give comfort to those who are averse to want anything to do with "liberal arts"? Because the actuality of what you are doing is exactly what is and needs to be done!
Hillsdale College encompasses the essential values required in seeking higher education. It is truly inspiring to see that some form of proper education still exists amidst the collapse of ideals which has perpetually affected American Society. As human beings, having an understanding of the world we live in is essential to discovering our true identity. When we choose to ignore our history and the nature of the Universe as unimportant in regards to our identity, we lose our ability to grow in truth. As a Christian, I am saddened by what is happening on many college campuses today. The attempts of the progressive left to replace obejective morality leads to a path of brokenness and confusion. if we ignore reality and place emphasis on subjective feeling, we are limited in our knowledge of the world and our true identity. I am a very proud Homeschooler with a love for books and learning. I realize that our ability to seek and perceive truth and logic comes from a Creator. If this is indeed true, our source for higher education should be founded in the existence of God and not based upon our limited view of the Universe.
Keep up the fight Hillsdale!!!
Today is First day in my life As a Student of Hillsdale online College. Really I am happy to being Free Student of this Great College.
Such a moving video, I need to learn more about this institution, the Lord opens doors for a reason, you have to take the step, sometimes with help, this video has inspired me to learn more and see what I can learn, what a blessing, thank you!!
My journey to learn has now begun. Thank you, Hillsdale College
I am excited to enroll in some classes. I am 70 yrs. Old and have and am always interested in learning more! I have worked in Christian schools for over 30 years and am excited to learn more! Thank you so much!
If I ever have children, I will encourage them toward choosing Hillsdale College from an early age.
I am in my mid 70's. I have had a satisfying career and am looking to keep my mind sharp. I am pleased to continue learning with your college. I am able to continue to expand my horizons with your free courses. I thank you for this privilege! W. Ortiz
Congratulations Hillsdale on celebrating your 175 Anniversary! Praying for your future example that it will remain strong.
I just enrolled today and I am so excited to get more in depth of God's word and to dive deeper into my relationship with God. ❤
I live in Europe and just signed in! I only watched the introduction video❤ and I am impressed. If I tell you, that I was reading the news of Al Jazeera when the commercial popped up, you probably would not believe... so I keep it secret😮 Thank you for providing it and strengthen my believe that one day we respect different religions. Worldwide.... with allies....
I'm glad I found this online educational institution.
I have 4 children and just yesterday I told my husband that I would rather they Not go to college because I went to a Christian college and even that was so messed up...but after watching this...I just might start a college fund for them...
21% acceptance rate they better have good grades
Don’t worry. There are many good schools out there, and not all have this rather extreme religious bent to them.
I love what Hillsdale stands for and support it whenever I can. ✝
Just thankful, I found this, it was a true life saver for myself. God bless you all, and Thank you for what you do.
Wow! All along I have never had any understanding of Liberal Arts Colleges and what it entails. This short video planted many questions in my mind and I'm up and doing in search of answers.
My son just started high school/grade 9. He's in a Christian prep school. They partner with Hillsdale for requirements. I can't wait until my son attends Hillsdale! This was the education I had in the 1980/1990s at KU.
My son is in Classical Conversations homeschool, 7th grade. I hope to see him at Hillsdale one day. What is KU, Kansas ?
Education is supposed to be about teaching the student how to think and equipping them with the tools to do so. My dad stressed English and math because they are two of the tools used to think and communicate those thoughts. I discovered a love for other languages and embraced them. I'm not to sure that Greek and Latin should not still be required.
Awesome, I hope to go there next year!
Learning everyday is such a blessing even at 53
Real education is founded in the Holy Bible!!! God is the Author of every good thing!

I enjoyed a general liberal arts college education in the '70s that taught me no marketable skills unless I'd gone on to be a preacher. I regret not a minute of it. Thinking critically is a skill that has to be taught. It's sorely lacking these days.
Agreed, as a student of the 70's, you are so right - Thank you Hillsdale
I will continue to support Hillsdale College and its programs. Thank you Hillsdale College.
I'm a recent immigrant. A Buddhist. For me & my kids, Hillsdale is a perfect find to cherish the American dream. It cuts through the woke/left BS to think independently with common sense.
Oh, oh! Those words "woke/left BS"---makes me nervous. My impression is that Hillsdale wouldn't use that kind of language. Hope I'm not wrong. Guess I'll find out.
@@sallytwo How about 'Marxist indoctrination for elitist control of the masses', is that better?
Why in the world would you feel threatened by the term “woke?” In my vocabulary it simply means to “wake up” and see the world as it is. There is nothing left or right about it. It’s not political. It’s a spiritual awakening. Why would that bother you? Just asking 💜🙏🏼
If you really practiced Buddhist principles you would not have posted this narrow minded, aggressive statement.
@@borncrazynotstupid"Woke" and being awakened are very different. You're confused because you think they are the same. Those who claim they are "woke" believe in many immoral things that Christians do not partake in since it goes against the Bible. Being awakened is spiritual, not political. They are pretty much the opposite. If you are woke, then you are not awakened. If you are awakened, then you are not woke.
Thank you for this introduction to Hillsdale. Well done.
Thank you.
I heard about Hillsdale from a VHD (podcast) a brilliant professor! I just signed up! Having taken life long learning courses at a private university in CT, the university during COVID eliminated their program but then reestablished it to ONLY the local community! I teach wellbeing for seniors who want excellent educational experiences and resources for learning! I will explore Hillsdale too, from the comments, it seems to be a PERFECT resource for my 50+ student population.. Filled with gratitude for Hillsdale College and the most awesome Victor Hanson Davis!!!
I was introduced to Hillsfale College from the ad on Hulu for the free class. My daughter currently attends a small classical Christian K-12 school I so enjoyed this video.
I look forward to your free class and completing it.
I love Hillsdale Biblical teachings; really gets you to open up your mind and think on an in depth level.
Wonderful comments about a great Institution Hillsdale! Thanks
I would love to see Hillsdale become the influential college in America.
Dear Hillsdale
Thanks for posting the Citizens class online.

As a United States Army Airborne veteran and social worker I enjoy the free "course American Citizenship and Its Decline".

I wish I would have known about this place when I was getting ready to go to school. I grew up on the East Coast and never heard about it. They need to advertise more.
Interest video.
God bless u all!
73 here. Brazilian. US citizen. Currently living in the heart of Mexico. Born and raised Christian. Psychology education from University of São Paulo. Eager to learn about what my country is sadly turning into…
Thank you for this opportunity, I am so blessed by it❤
Nice to hear truth for a change.
Hope! Encouraging video 🙏
Thanks Hillsdale !
Thank you so much!
I just signed up for an online mathematics course. I'm looking forward to learning.
amazing backstory...
Inspiring, informative, and independent. I enjoyed it.
Superb. Already started the first online course
Amazing
Amen to Hilsdale College courses! I just joined a course after a long search on Christian courses that were very expensive and this is free! I am looking so forward to learning with you😅
Awesome
I look forward to the free online courses and hopefully other courses in the future.
I was skeptical at first because of so many weird online schools but this one is legit.
now there is a college that i would like to visit and count on.
Absolutely Excellent!!!
I am a well educated, Professional Educator. In an. aReligious school. (a school that does not include any religion) -- It is
wonderful to watch Learning Growth, and Facilitate it. It does NOT need Religion. Human Beings are remarkable-- they do not need
Religion. to accomplish. I noted it took until the 9th minute of a 11.5 minute video to admit to the Religion bound up in this.
There is a reason that our Constitution says "No Establishment of Religion"
No Education requires Religion.
I agree that religion isn't required. I do, however, think that religion brings much to the table. Just one example is that religion brings morality. There are other examples, but I'm trying to keep the brief. That being said, religion should not be discounted so easily, if at all.
You can learn morality without religion. Or you can learn morality in religions other than Christianity. A true Liberal Arts college should be open to any religion or to no religion at all; otherwise, you have restricted your ability to learn outside the box. Philosophy is about asking all kinds of questions, including uncomfortable questions such as: Is there really a God? @@ualaniwinter3095
Agreed an organized trligious belief systens not required in the sense you probably mean. But the foundational character traits and values that are the underpinnings are what is desperately needed in education and character building.
Hillsdale college is superb institution
Amazing!!
I wish I could have gone to Hillsdale!
great school
I PLANED TO LEARN THIS SCHOOL A WHILE. I MAY ONE MORE THOUSAND YEARS SOME JEWIRSH CAME AND STAYED IN CHINA LEGACY PEOPLE.
At one time in the United States of America you had to be able to read write and communicate in English,Latin and Greek to graduate from High School
yeah, in the 1800's
I graduated from a public high school in Southern CA in 1984. In 1980 they cut the Latin curricula… I felt gypped!
Tried to watch some videos on your web site but keep getting this error, "Sorry
Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here." I am unable to view your videos.
I want to join this university and pursue painting, drawing and wood curving.
Very impressed.
All the negative comments keyboard warriors dedicate to Hillsdale, is enough to know you are in the right place.
If I'd only known...
excellent
Is there anything like Hillsdale in Canada?
Thankyou so much for providing the free Courses to learn.
Please anyone can confirm those Courses are, I'm safe with and free, I am not able to believe that it is free.
WHEN HILLSDALE TALKS ABOUT FAITH AND FREEDOM THE'RE TALKING ABOUT TAKING YOURS!

Wow

What is that motto, " Strength, rejoice, challenge ______ "? They went to fast I couldn't hear it correctly.
Strength rejoices in the challenge…

Without faith one is doomed to a life of less ignorance
Without atheism one is doomed to a life of less nihilism and meaninglessness.
And without something to stand for one falls for anything.
Well gents are there minister degrees available too? That was one of the reasons signed up for Ancient Christianity classes that and to deepen scriptural understanding. Back at school at 59 who wdve figured
I don’t think you mentioned Jesus Christ once.

Freedom from who
God is love .How 🎉is love practical?
I would suggest loving your neighbor would decrease hate crimes. Doesn't that make it practical?
Anyone notice Mike Pence?
