“Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution” is a 10-week online course presented by Hillsdale College.

Featuring an expanded format from the “Introduction to the Constitution” lecture series with Hillsdale College President Dr. Larry Arnn, Constitution 101 follows closely the one-semester course required of all Hillsdale College undergraduate students.

In this course, you can: • watch lectures from the same Hillsdale faculty who teach on campus;

• study the same readings taught in the College course;

• submit questions for weekly Q&A sessions with the faculty;

• access a course study guide;

• test your knowledge through weekly quizzes; and

• upon completion of the course, receive a certificate from Hillsdale College.

You must register in order to participate in Constitution 101. Even if you have already signed up for a previous Hillsdale webcast or seminar, we ask that you complete the simple registration process for Constitution 101. There is no cost to register for this course, but we ask that you consider a donation to support our efforts to educate millions of Americans about our nation’s Founding documents and principles.

Thanks Jen!

I’m signed up! See you in class!

Isn't this school associated with Mark Levin?

The same Mark Levin that claims Obama is a natural born Citizen.

I'll pass.

I have no idea if the school is associated with Levin. He is not teaching the class however. This school is well known for it’s conservatism and it takes no federal money. If that isnt good enough for a one issue conservative then you are more than welcome to not join.

"Now that I’m signed up I wonder if we could sign up others. Say Barrack Hussein Obama, members of Congress, our bottom feeding socialist friends and relatives...."

I think Biblical injunction about casting pearls before swine argues against that.

Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
— Matthew 7:6 NASB

Why would you even bother learning about the Constitution if you don't care if politicians uphold their sworn oaths to protect and defend it?

That's right. My ONE ISSSUE is the RULE OF LAW!

This course should be essential for anyone who can take it, as it will clarify some things that probably nobody else really knows. It is the course required of all undergraduates at Hillsdale. The only comparable required courses are at the US Military Academies.

[hinckley buzzard]

Excellent point. "Imprimis" is a Hillsdale publication of transcripts of speeches delivered by leading figures in the conservative domain. Once a month, delivered free, no strings. You can subscribe at their website. Any one serious about contemporary conservative thought will appreciate this resource.

This would be a great once-a-month reading assignment for homeschooled older kids. Or any kids.

Fine, Stay stupid, ill-informed and irrational.

Next time some lib tells me conservatives are degenerate wall-eyed idiots, I will think of you.

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

I do care that politicians uphold their sworn oaths.

I have no idea what Mark Levin and his position on Obama’s eligibility have to do with this college course though.

"I have no idea what Mark Levin and his position on Obama’s eligibility have to do with this college course though."

Levin's fingerprints are all over it

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

Because he gave it a good review? He didn’t write the course and he is not teaching it. Talking about throwing out the baby with the bath water. Do you have some knowledge that no one else has that this course will teach us that the Constitution is wrong on eligibility? If so let’s see it. If not what’s the problem?

[Sick of Lefties]

Great. I signed up for it.

I already subscribe to Imprimus, and even sent a daughter there. She left after two years to finish college in Spain—go figure. My son who wanted to go there, couldn’t get in.

It’s a fine place, albeit in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, I live nearby in Ann Arbor.

They should put this on iTunes U. They’ll reach far more people.

Exciting times, what with major schools providing the start of free online certifications. MIT and others are starting - not just providing curriculum free, but certification as well.

High tuition gets met with free. Amazing how supply-and-demand works out so often.
