Does anyone know more about Clemente? - SweetSecret - 07-24-2014
I came across this just this morning, & had never heard of it. I thought it might a good option to suggest to some of the women where I volunteer, but I don't know enough about it yet.
Welcome | The Clemente Course in the Humanities
There also doesn't seem to be much info about how a person becomes a student, or who accepts the credits.

It looks like you have to be or become a student at Bard College. In my opinion, when a website works soooo hard to build a mystery, it's best to avoid them. Transparency is important, because you need to know the source of the credit- the cost- and if you can transfer it (who the accreditor is). This information isn't readily available on their webpage.

The Clemente Course is a National Endowment for the Humanities, grant-funded program. The Clemente Veterans Initiative is a spin off and is designed to assist veterans who are struggling with the transition back into the civilian sector. It is taught in several colleges and universities across the US and is free. Tuition and fees are covered, books are free, child care and transportation support funding may also be available. You can elect to use it for credit or not. Here is the link to the one in Tacoma. https://plu.edu/CVI And here is the Federal Government site https://www.neh.gov/news/clemente-awarded-two-neh-grants
I hope this clears things up a little.
