Carl Sandburg College

Carl Sandburg College has partnered with the American Sport Education Program (ASEP) to provide you with an interactive and informative online learning experience. These Internet-based courses are available for college credit in two options:

Course offerings for transfer credit. Intended for teachers, coaches, or college students who desire undergraduate college credit toward a degree or toward credit for professional growth units for K-12 recertification requirements. Degree-seeking students will have additional study and project requirements to earn appropriate course grades.

Students must register for the courses through Carl Sandburg College. (If you are taking the course for transfer credit, we recommend you check with the school to which you'll be transferring the credits to ensure acceptance prior to registering.)
