Hello! I am contacting you about our new online classical program and
was wondering if you would consider including something in your
newsletter or e-mail to members about the program.
We are introducing our online degree program this week. The vision for
our program involves delivering a classical education reflective of
that received by the Founding Fathers of America. As such, an intimate
part of our online program thus involves a focus on the classics.
We have contracted with a Canadian, Dr. Lisa St. Louis (CV Attached) to
develop a series of (3) Latin and (3) Greek online courses. The
courses will each be equivalent to (3) credits at a typical U.S.
college and, as we understand it, what would be a typical (1) credit
course in Canada. She has invested an enormous amount of time in
these courses and we are very proud to have her as part of our academic
staff. In addition to the Latin and Greek that Dr. Lisa has
developed, we are also offering Hebrew. Certainly part of the
novelty of the offering is that it is available online for students
anywhere around the world. Our course offering will begin in
September 2005.
To complement the language/classical focus of our Liberal Arts degree
we are also offering a series of (3) Art History courses, also
developed by a Canadian Classicist, Dr. Martin Meyer. Her courses have
a distinct classical focus, portraying the influence of the classical
era on the time periods that followed. I also attached her CV.
I’m wondering if you would consider including this information in your
next newsletter and help us promote this tremendous program to members
of the list. We will receive approval/certification of our program from
the state of Wisconsin Educational Approval Board this week and are
most excited about the offering.
For more information, I also attached a copy of our course catalog for
your reference. I also attached a copy of the press release that will
likely be distributed this week once we receive approval from the state.
Please let me know if you would be willing to help in the promotion of
our program.
