Lewis House Classes

Lewis House classes provide every college student an opportunity to take thought-provoking classes with Christian instructors at affordable tuition rates.

We come to college to get a degree. But that shouldn’t be the only reason we come to college. College is a unique time to explore big questions and find good answers that will impact the rest of your life. 

Yet so many colleges leave God out of the question—and especially the answers. At Lewis House, we’re eager to see how God fits into your syllabus. These aren’t the classes you have to take. These are classes you want to take. 

Good conversations are even better with good conversation partners. In addition to like-minded students and faithful instructors, you’ll learn from some of the wisest minds in the history of the Church. Thomas Aquinas and C. S. Lewis aren’t just historical figures. They can become friends that help you think and live well as a Christian—in college and beyond.  

And the best part is: you can earn credit toward your degree at an affordable cost. For only $100 (thanks to the generosity of Lewis House patrons!), you can take one of our three-hour, accredited courses in Christian thought.

FAQs about Lewis House Classes:

1. We offered courses accredited by Asbury University. Thanks to the Transfer Equivalency System, we know exactly what your class will transfer to UK as. For example, Basic Christian Doctrine (TH 250) transfers to UK as 3 hours of 200+ General Credit (GEED 250). This is approved by the UK/BTCT Registrar office. We guarantee your credit—or money back!

An important note: This is not a UK course. In order to remain a full-time student at UK, you need to take at least 12 credit hours of UK courses. This course will not count toward those 12 hours. But if you take 12 hours of UK courses and a Lewis House course, you will finish the semester with 15 total credit hours.

2. This class is approved by the UK/BCTC Registrar’s office for transfer credit! We guarantee this, or else you will receive a 100% refund.

3. UK and BCTC have already approved transfer credits through Asbury, but you should decide if it fits into your schedule or is helpful toward getting your degree. So you should talk about it with your university academic advisor. Again, this course is guaranteed to transfer in by the Registrar’s office, so the advisor should not say it won’t count for you.

4. Make sure when you sign up for your other classes that you understand this class does not count towards your status as a UK/BCTC student. You would still need to take 12 credit hours of UK or BCTC coursework to retain full-time status. We recommend taking 12 hours of credit at UK/BCTC, and supplementing that with this course through Lewis House so you have a total load of 15 credit hours.

5. Once you have decided the course would work for you, apply for a spot in our class. You can do that here. It takes less than 5 minutes and requires no outside documentation. Applications are due by May 1st, and we only have a limited number of spots, so get started now!

6. Set up a meeting with a Lewis House staff member and advisor. We’ll help you quickly fill out the paperwork that Asbury, our accrediting university, will need to get you your credit! It’s easy and should only take a few minutes. You’ll pay a small deposit on your tuition then (that counts toward the total).

7. Before the beginning of the semester, you’ll pay the remaining balance for the class, then you’re all set!

Yes! You won’t register through UK, but you can take our classes, which are accredited through Asbury University, and transfer the credit to UK or BCTC with no problems.

We are planning to allow non-students and auditors to sit in on these courses, if the class size is not filled by for-credit students. Priority will be given to those of college(-ish) age and those seeking credit for the course.

College credit is available to students taking Lewis House classes through an incredible partnership with Asbury University. Our classes are designed in conjunction with Asbury and so share in their accreditation. The course credit you receive will be a credit that transfers from Asbury University to UK (or BCTC). Course transfer between these institutions is not an uncommon thing, which gives added assurance that the process will be clear and smooth.
