Earn College Credit for Blogging this Summer—Take an Online Course

Do you want the flexibility of being able to take a correspondence course over the summer but think you don't have the self-discipline to finish it? If so, Bob Jones University's online courses may be for you. This summer BJU's Office of Extended Education is offering seven undergraduate online courses. Each course will last six weeks. Students will be encouraged to interact with each other by responding to forum questions posed by the course moderator and by other students. For more information about how the courses work, you may log into the sample course at http://exted.bju.edu/ as a guest user. There you will be able to download a sample lecture. We're looking forward to seeing you there!

Advantages of Online Courses:

  • Flexibility: Fit the course into your work schedule so you can earn money for college and take a course at the same time.
  • Convenience: Take the course wherever you are.
  • Structure: Deadlines for assignment completion will help you finish the course in a timely manner.
  • Interaction: You will be able to interact with other students and a course moderator on a regular basis.

Enrolling in an Online Course

You can sign up for an online course anytime between now and the registration deadline for the course. A $50 late registration fee will be assessed to those students who register after the deadline. To sign up for an online course, fill out the application pdf and mail it with payment to the Office of Extended Education, Bob Jones University, Greenville, SC 29614. If you pay by credit card, you may fax the application to us at 864.271.8187. Because we must have your signature, we cannot accept emailed applications.

Undergraduate Credit

Any student who has completed a high school diploma is eligible to apply for BJU's undergraduate online courses. In addition, high school seniors who are planning to attend BJU and are within twelve months of graduation may be eligible to take a limited number of undergraduate courses through our Limited Early Admission Program (LEAP).

Courses numbered from 100 to 199 are given primarily for freshmen. Courses numbered 200-299 are given primarily for sophomores. Courses numbered 300-399 are given primarily for juniors. Courses numbered 400-499 are given primarily for seniors. Courses numbered 500-599 are advanced courses primarily for juniors, seniors, and graduate students.

Students may take up to 30 hours of courses through the Office of Extended Education and transfer them to an undergraduate degree program at BJU. Non-BJU students may take as many undergraduate courses as their college permits. Acceptance into an undergraduate course through the Office of Extended Education does not imply acceptance into an undergraduate degree program at BJU.
