Asbury Academy

Enrollment in the Academy allows high school seniors who are homeschooled or live locally to take three (3) credit hours on campus during the fall and spring semesters (summer session not included) with no tuition charge. If the course has a required lab, an extra credit will be given to cover tuition for the lab as well. Seniors may also take additional classes (up to 15 credit hours) during each of these two semesters at a reduced tuition rate of $95* per credit hour. Juniors can also take classes on campus; the tuition fee is $95* per credit hour. On-campus Academy students can choose to register from over 100 classes.

Asbury Academy also offers courses online. These classes are offered in an intensive format – each course is only 8 weeks long, requiring a high level of academic discipline and motivation on the part of the student. Due to the concentrated nature of these classes, a student may only be enrolled in one course at a time. Asbury’s semesters are 16 weeks; a student interested in taking more than one online course may do so with consecutive classes.

Online courses cost $95* per credit hour. The Senior waiver is for on-campus classes only and cannot be used for online classes.

*Dual credit tuition rate is set by the state and is subject to change at any time.

Asbury University participates in the Kentucky Dual Credit Scholarship Program. High School Juniors and Seniors living in Kentucky may use this scholarship for on-campus and online classes. For more information regarding this scholarship please click here.
