Pulitzer Prize winning Journalist Julia Keller joins Dean Lawrence R. Velvel on this episode of Books of our Time. ACHLS is a revolutionary development in American Higher Education. The ACHLS is a senior completion college: it offers the junior and senior years, not the freshman and sophomore years. It’s curriculum focuses exclusively on American History. All courses are taught by the discussion method, not the lecture method. It is truly affordable to students, provides "pathways to law school" for students who wish to attend law school, and equips graduates to pursue other career options as well.
