The Academy of Holm [Second Semester] [Applications Open]

[Consulary Republic of Holm 131]

[!] A familiar notice scours the lands for willing students to once again pursue academic, military, and craftsman degrees for the Academy's next semester.

 

 

        Scholars of Atlas, we are blessed and honored to open the doors of our humble Academy once more. Whether you decide to embark on a new academic expedition, or to pursue your current studies, you are more than welcome within the halls of The Academy of Holm. While this would not be the first attempt at opening up our doors to the public, our previous Headmasters, Kardel Irongut and Caius Roswell-Rubens, have provided us with the information that should lead us to a successful semester, by imposing a less strenuous class system upon the students.

       The Academy of Holm plans on making classes as hands-on as possible, making students intrigued with the subject matter at hand, rather than sitting and taking notes every class. In addition, class schedules won't be nearly as rigorous, granting students the freedom to study at their own pace whilst participating with the rest of the class. The number of classes we offer has also decreased, due to a high demand of specific courses in our previous years. All those who value education can find a place for themselves within the Academy.

 

 

 

Graduation Requirements and Degrees

Compared to our previous years, the number of Degrees we shall offer will decrease, as well as the requirements for each. At The Academy of Holm, we wish to focus more on success within your individual fields, rather than making you take multiple classes to receive a degree.

 

Graduation Requirements

The only requirements for graduation are the completion of your class. We pride ourselves on academic flexibility, with gracious professors adjusting their schedules to suit the needs of the students.

 

Degrees

Under the new administration of The Academy of Holm, there shall now only be three degrees available to our students. These degrees have been tailored to allow students to focus on either a single subject, a field of subjects, or attempt to master a multitude of subjects. These degrees are made to accommodate all students, from those attending the academy for a single field of interest, to the aspiring scholars striving to master as many disciplines as possible.

 

 

 

Practical Degree

Upon earning your Practical Degree, you shall have completed and passed one (1) course within the Academy (Ex: Practical Degree in Engineering). While this is the most basic and simplistic degree offered, it proves that you, as a student, have attained the necessary tools to properly delve into the world of your given academic field.

 

Honorary Degree

Upon earning your Honorary Degree, you shall have completed and passed three (3) courses within the Academy. This degree shows dedication to knowledge, and an expertise in a larger amount of subjects. In addition, Honorary students will be required to take a final exam at the end of the semester

 

Master’s Degree

Upon earning your Master’s Degree, you shall have completed and passed five (5) courses within the Academy. This degree displays the utmost dedication to your subjects, expertise in your fields, and prowess in academics. In addition to the completion of your classes, Master students must also complete a large project at the end of their final semester, tailored towards your class experience at the professor's discretion. This may include a written thesis, a series of hand crafted merchandise, a novel, or other project subjects.

 

There are also post-graduate courses for those wishing to pursue their doctorate, earning the official title of "Doctor" in their respective field. See the handbook for more details.

 

Classes & Tuition

       While the number of courses has decreased, at least for the time being, we are proud to bring you sixteen classes, taught by some of the greatest academic minds within the confines of Atlas. Along with the decrease in class sizes, the tuition for The Academy of Holm is now only 75 Minae per class, drastically lowered from previous semesters! The decrease in cost is to allow more pupils access to our Academy, hoping to spread academic excellence to every aspiring scholar possible. Each semester lasts six weeks. At the end of every semester, your evaluations will be calculated, to determine if you qualify to earn your degree.
