Professor Larry Schweikart
Professor Larry Schweikart is a tenured professor and has authored many New York Times #1 best sellers. His Wild World of History™ students can earn affordable college credit and degrees through this collaborative program with Hartwell Quest® (HQ). Please explore the two main options that follow.
Option 1
Credit Transfer or Dual Credit
- Dr. Schweikart’s American History and/or World History 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, summer camps, 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 Wild World of History™ courses (American History and World History) as worth 3 units/credits each for integration with options 1 and 2 above.
Students who have completed Wild World of History™ courses can make them part of option 1 or 2 via transfer by taking a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) exam for each class. 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™ American History and/or World History 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 Larry’s classes, please sign up for them at Wild World of History™ and return here once you are ready to take the PLA exam(s).

*College credit and degrees are offered wholly by accredited institutions. HQ does not grant college credit or administer any aspect of participation in Title IV programs. Students who have already earned AP or other equivalent college credits may find redundancies in their final degree plan, depending on the program and institution chosen. Attending a Christian college in connection with this program is not required but recommended. Visit our colleges & universities page for more information on credit transfer for college credit or degrees.
