Professor Paul Cleveland
Dr. Paul Cleveland is a tenured economics professor whose Basic Economics textbook is proudly used at conservative colleges & universities. You will gain insights into the complex worlds of American Government and Economics through his Boundary Stone courses. Please explore the two main options that follow.
Option 1
Credit Transfer or Dual Credit
- Dr. Cleveland’s Basic American Government and/or Basic Economics classes can be transferred to more than 240 accredited Christian colleges & universities through this innovative program.
- These classes can also be your initiation into an affordable associate, bachelor’s, or master’s degree through a dual credit diploma in general studies, business, leadership, ministry, psychology, biblical studies, and more!
- Option 1 is an excellent fit for high school students, graduates, or individuals with high school equivalency.
Option 2
Dual Enrollment + Fellowship Program
- This option enables students to earn live academic credit through dual enrollment with select accredited colleges in a number of academic degrees.
- Generous scholarships and grants are available for eligible students who choose option two. These can help with non-academic fellowship program costs, which can be tailored to you and may include things like educational travel, missions outreaches, volunteer work, and more!
- Option 2 is reserved for high school graduates and individuals with high school equivalency.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Hartwell™ recognizes Boundary Stone courses (Basic American Government and Basic Economics) as worth 3 units/credits each for integration with options 1 and 2 above.
Students who have completed Boundary Stone classes can make them part of option 1 or 2 via transfer by taking a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) exam for each course. These exams are offered by Hartwell Quest® and administered in our secure online platform.
- Exam Fee: Each PLA exam costs $55 USD, covering transcription and technology expenses.
- Passing Grade: Students must achieve a grade of C or better (73%-100%) to pass and transfer the course units/credits into their program(s).
- Credit Granting: Successful completion of the PLA exam(s) is equivalent to passing Hartwell’s U.S. Government and/or Basic Economics courses, applicable for options 1 and 2.
- Retake Fees: Fees are assessed for each attempt or reattempt of the PLA exams.
For students who have not yet taken Professor Cleveland’s courses, please sign up for them at Boundary Stone and return here once you are ready to take the PLA test(s).
