With Lake Superior State University being our new neighbor, we can now enhance our dual enrollment program. We recently have in-person classes and online classes from which students can access. Currently, we have these classes in person taught by Nikki Ulrich:
This course introduces students to the field of education.

While we grow our in-person classes we still have plenty of online courses available, such as:
ENGL110 provides students with an introduction to the discipline of writing through an exploration of their own writing processes and products. Emphasis is placed on students learning to think critically about their own writing in order to address issues of coherence, grammar, mechanics, organization, clarity and content. Other material covered includes the role of literacy in society, the ways in which readers engage text, and the role of writing at the college level. (3,0) 3
First-Year Composition II prepares students for the complex demands of academic literacy and research. These require students to be able to critically observe personal and public knowledge; ask questions of reading and research; formulate hypotheses; design and conduct research projects, both in the library and in the field; and identify further avenues of inquiry. To help students develop these abilities, the course also teaches students the basic skills of analysis, interpretation, critical thinking and documentation. Required course work included completion of an extended research project. Prerequisite: a grade of C or higher in ENGL110. (3,0) 3
A study of philosophy with the aims to become wiser and to live better. Through a host of immersive assignments, such as ‘live like a philosopher’, students will experience first-hand the philosophies that just might rescue them from the traps of distraction, indecision, and disconnect. A large part of this course will be devoted to helping students articulate and defend their own visions for what makes a meaningful life. The course will impart wise and practical guidance from some of the greatest representatives of the philosophical tradition.
This course introduces students to core sociological theorists and perspectives, including functionalism, conflict and symbolic interactionism, and familiarizes them with basic research designs, terminology and findings within the context of collective behavior and social movements. (4,0) 4
This course introduces the student to racial, ethnic, gender and social class variation within the United States and the global community to enable the student to better understand, live with, and appreciate diversity. (3,0) 3
