Collegiate Courses
A potential way to earn credit is to successfully
complete one or both of the Disney Collegiate courses. The American Council on
Education recommends both of our collegiate courses, Organizational Leadership
and Marketing You, for three semester hours of credit. Each course is taught
once per week for four hours in length and totals 44 hours of course work.
Please check with your faculty advisor as to whether they will recognize our
classes for credit.
