Freshman Year for Free program makes no-cost college a reality

Students can take college courses at no cost thanks to a program called Freshman Year for Free.

The program offers more than 40 freshman-level classes taught online by professors from across the country.

David Vise, executive director of the Modern States Education Alliance, the philanthropy behind the program, said it gave students an “on-ramp to college.”

“College has gotten very, very expensive,” he said. “We wanted to do something to help bring down the cost of college and make it easier for people.”
