    From Patrick Henry College...
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Dear Friends and Family of Patrick Henry College:

    It is with great excitement that we announce to you the Patrick Henry
    College Online program. This program will use the latest in modern
    technology to deliver the Biblical worldview and classical liberal
    arts approach of the PHC core curriculum to students.

    The vision of the Patrick Henry College Distance Learning Program is
    to make the Patrick Henry College core curriculum available to
    students around the world who cannot attend on campus. These
    students include the traditional college-aged student, the adult life-
    long learner, and the bright high school-aged student. Courses to be
    offered through this new program are: Constitutional Law (taught by
    Dr. Michael Farris), Freedom's Foundations, Western Literature, New
    Testament, Biology, and Introduction to American Government. Latin
    is also offered by traditional correspondence learning. The new
    online courses will start January 28, 2003.

    Would you like to take one of these courses or know someone who
    would? Do you have a son or daughter who would benefit from PHC
    Online? If so we encourage you to visit www.phc.edu/distancelearning
    to get all of the details and to register for the spring semester.
    Because this is our first semester of PHC Online, seats are limited.

    If you have questions or comments about PHC Online, please don't
    hesitate to contact us at (540) 338-1776 or [email protected].
    Your thoughts and input are very important to us.

    Respectfully yours,
    Paul J. Bonicelli, Ph.D.
    Dean of Academic Affairs

    Richard Shipe
    Director of Distance Learning

    If I remember correctly this is not a degree program but a program designed to be taken in addition to a standard degree program to "better" educate the student. "Better" educate can be read to mean conservateively educate the student. Interesting program but a rather narrow one.
