LWC offers special program for senior citizens, HS students

Senior citizens can take classes free in the Senior Scholars ProgramBy Duane Bonifer, Director, LWC Public Affairs

COLUMBIA, KY - Lindsey Wilson College is once again opening a select number of its classes this spring semester to the region's high school students and senior citizens.

High school seniors can get an early start on their college careers by enrolling in a select number of Lindsey Wilson classes for the reduced price of $180 per class. The three-hour classes count toward college credit, and high school seniors may take up to two classes during the semester.



The region's senior citizens can take college classes for free as part of the college's Senior Scholars Program.

High school students can enroll in Lindsey Wilson courses in computer information systems, English composition, psychology, sociology and U.S. history.

"I don't know of a better way for a graduating high school senior to get an early start on college," Lindsey Wilson Dean of Admissions Traci Pooler said. "All but one of the spring classes offered to high school students meet one night a week, so it's a convenient way for them to start college before they even graduate from high school. And at just $180 a class, I don't know of a more affordable way to begin your college career."

Classes in Christian beliefs, New Testament, world civilizations, world regional geography and U.S. history are offered in the college's Senior Scholars Program.

Adults who are 62 years or older may participate in the Senior Scholars Program. The program allows participants to take one undergraduate class this fall at no tuition expense.

Participants in the Senior Scholars Program are not required to have a high school diploma if they audit a class. But Lindsey Wilson admissions requirements must be met if a participant wants to earn academic credit.

All students must purchase books and supplies for their classes.
