They offer these courses for free with a political agenda, so I had no interest in them.

I paid for courses with a political agenda at U. of Oregon.  I have so many lib colleges one non will not hurt me?   

For a college, it has a unique history.

Hillsdale was the first American college to prohibit in its charter any discrimination based on race, sex, or national origin. Associated with the anti-slavery movement from its earliest days, it attracted to its campus anti-slavery leaders such as Frederick Douglass and Edward Everett, who preceded Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg. Several of the College’s leading men were instrumental in founding the new Republican party up the road in Jackson, Michigan, in 1854. And Hillsdale sent a larger percentage of its students to fight for the Union in the Civil War than any other American college or university except West Point. Two of those Hillsdale veterans helped carry Lincoln’s casket to the slain president’s final resting place in Springfield, Illinois.

I do agree with MNomadic that I have 3.5 years of my GI Bill to use first.  Maybe in 4 years, I will look at them.

After you complete it tell us what it was like?  Total Time? How hard is the final test?

I will.  I'm usually pretty slow at these things, so don't hold your breath!

You gotta do what you gotta do to earn a degree, but I'm not subjecting myself to that for no reason. I had enough of it in high school.

They're not ACE or NCCRS approved as far as I can tell. So one would only be taking the courses for fun.
