Hillsdale College Courses on the Constitution



Hillsdale College offers free, not-for-credit online courses taught by its faculty. These online versions are based upon those in the College’s undergraduate Core Curriculum, which all Hillsdale students must complete prior to graduation.

In addition to lectures, these online courses feature readings, study guides, quizzes, and discussion groups. There is also an opportunity to receive certificates of completion for each course.

Too often when considering data privacy and personal security we are faced with a conflict between the rights of the American people and the needs of the government. Our rights are enumerated in the U.S. Constitution, but today it seems that nobody knows what those rights and freedoms are.

Civics was a class that used to be required before you could graduate from high school. In civics class you were taught about the U.S. Constitution and about your rights and responsibilities as a citizen of the United States. Unfortunately civics class is no longer required to graduate from many high schools, and is seldom required as part of a college education. 

We live in a country, a great Constitutional Republic, with a constitution that guarantees our rights and freedoms - a contract between the citizens and the government - but if you don't know what your rights are, how can you stand up for them?
