I am writing this for the benefit of future Angelicum Academy students and graduates,
After graduating the four-year Angelicum Academy Great Books Program, I decided that I wanted to go into the field of Computer Science, leading me to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree at a public university. However, because of the non-conventional nature of the Great Books Program, the university initially declined to accept the credits from the program despite its being formally recommended by the American Council of Education (ACE) for college credit. I decided to contact the Angelicum Academy to see if they could help me in getting the near 50 college credits transferred, and the Angelicum Academy President stepped up to bat.
Despite being told by the university’s registrar that the credits would not transfer, the director of the Angelicum Academy guided me in researching the transfer credit policies of both the accreditation institution of the university – the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) – and the university’s own transfer credit policies. After contacting the HLC and the librarian of the university, the unilateral verdict was that the university had full authority to accept the Great Books credits, but simply didn’t seem to want to or did not understand that their own policies required them to do so.
With this information, the President of the Angelicum Academy personally wrote a letter to the university’s registrar compiling the research on their transfer policies, concluding that the university can, and should, accept the credits from the Great Books program. Shortly thereafter, in response to the Angelicum letter, the university confirmed that they had reversed their initial position and accepted all the credits I earned from the Great Books program, without any further questions or delay.
Since this particular university does not have a formal agreement with the Angelicum Academy as other colleges and universities do, without the help of the Angelicum Academy I might not have succeeded in transferring the four years of credits I had earned from the Great Books program. The Angelicum Academy went above and beyond in helping me deal with the bureaucracy of the public university system and showed how the Angelicum Academy really cares about its students, both in offering them the excellent Great Books education in the first place, and then in helping them succeed even after their time with the Angelicum Academy.
