This University strives to produce the best Associate and Baccalaureate College "Draguates" to benefit society.
Students have a choice to complete a Science (S.) degree or an Arts (A.) degree. All Baccalaureate Degrees (B.S. or B.A.) holders must complete 120 credits to earn their diploma from this University. All Associate Degrees (A.S. or A.A.) holders must complete 60 credits to earn their diploma. All Baccalaureate Internationale Degrees (B.I.S. or B.I.A.) must complete 150 credits to earn their diploma.
***
Most All courses are taught in a 2-week term and each carries 3 credits. Few accelerated courses are taught in a 1-week term and each carries 2 credits. The remaining 1 credit is allocated by means of writing an essay. Students may enroll up to a maximum of 15 credits per term, (5 courses), or complete 24 credits per term by completing the accelerated courses and writing essays. Each college semester lasts 16 days, with 14 days of classes and 2 days of exams. Each accelerated course lasts for 7 days of classes and 1 day of exam and 1 day of essay writing.
Courses are taught via personal Blogs, belonging to the professors. Any member interested in becoming a professor, please send me a message.
***
I reserve the moderators the right to transfer new thread starters if I would be inactive for 40 days.
University degrees are fictitious, not accredited, and not "real" degrees,
but a virtual replication of higher education in America. If interested, please apply as students or professors.
Professorship requires extended knowledge or expert skills, and are also most likely to be ATRL members who have been here more than 2 years.

How?
The University format mimics college courses but instead of 14 to 15 weeks to get your 3 credits, you have to complete it in 2 weeks.
Since there is no professor at the moment, I will start teaching the first 3 courses for our first 2-week term (semester).
Courses:
1. Algebra (SAT based) - fulfills General Education (Mathematics);
It might help you for high school or college entrance exams.
2. Hot 100 - fulfills Music Education requirements
3. General Studies - fulfill Music Education requirements
Courses are taught via Blogs by our professors, since there is none right now except me, I will teach them here on this thread.
Courses start tomorrow or Friday based on how many are interested. I will start even when we have only a few enrollments say like 3 or 4.
Get ready for it.

Thank you for interest! Shall I enroll you in for the first 3 courses now? Lol
Hot 100
Algebra
General Studies
They start tomorrow or Friday. I say they will last for 1 week, instead of 2 like the rest, since they are our first courses.
I will post 1 lesson plan per 1-2 days.
We have 2 exams per course: Midterm and Final Exam.

This looks very interesting.
Erm... I have some issues with real life college and I was wondering if classes start on Friday, does that mean I have to be here or can I check the class material later?

Actually, you do not have to be here because class lessons, assignments, and exams are posted and sent to your PM inbox. You might want to be here for participation bonus points.

I would totally do this if I didn't suck at math, all the sciences besides Geology and Astronomy, Anthropology, Economics, Politics, and everything in Computer Sciences + Business Studies.

It's a cute idea, I think a lot of the courses could be taken on the following two sites:
https://www.coursera.org/
https://www.udacity.com/
CourseRA has a huge selection of courses taught by actual colleges in a wide variety of subjects. The drawback is that they are time-restricted just like real classes, so you have to wait until they start to take them. Udacity has fewer classes, but you can take them whenever you want. The best part about both sites is that they are FREE!
Anyways, I thought I would drop these here for the general education type classes and then users here could teach stuff like the core music classes.

Lmao
Actually I'm enrolled in about 6 coursera courses, mostly in information technology and sciences.
I can say I am a proud double degrees holder: BS Biology and BS in Biochemistry from a top 50 US school.
I can say I have taught and tutored children from grades 2-11 for subjects like reading, math, and sciences.
But I thank you for bringing that up. I was considering using coursera as allowable transfer credits for students and yes this will give the atrl students time to focus on core music courses.
Also are high school classes count for course credits, as well as examination for credits if you have taken them. Life experiences can count for General Education and Music Education credits.

You're cutting yourself short again just like when you were playing the GTV game. You can use exception petition and or opt out for a BA degrees with less math and sciences.

I hope I didn't come across as rude, I just thought it would be easier for you not to have to teach all these classes at once. I wasn't doubting your ability at all 
I'm actually a double degree holder as well (kind of). I have a BS in Computer Information Systems with a minor in Japanese and a AA in Business Administration. Neither from anything close to a top 50 school though

Thank you for your interest! As a start up university we have a 100% enrollment policy. Do you know what major you want to do or you are still undecided?
I will contact by PMing lessons and assignments maybe as soon as tomorrow (16-28 hrs).

Not at all it's actually very helpful. Thanks it would be a daunting task to teach all courses. 
That's actually what I want my masters in... Computer Science, or even Computer and Electrical Engineering.
Are you from the US?
Btw do you want to sign up for the first semester? Lol
