The Nomadic Professor: U.S. History 3 and 4
The Nomadic Professor: U.S. History 3 and 4 isn’t your typical flip-through-and-forget-it history course. It’s a rigorous, modern high school history program built for digital learners who need serious academic chops. Designed to cover U.S. history from the 1880s through the War on Terror, this dual-volume course blends dynamic video lectures filmed on location—not just green-screen talking heads—with over 2,000 pages of narrated, annotated text and plenty of critical thinking exercises.
Across 40 units, your teen will explore turning points in modern history, from immigration waves and progressive reforms to global wars, civil rights movements, and foreign policy in a post-9/11 world. Along the way, he’ll be asked to evaluate propaganda, deconstruct political cartoons, and weigh historical perspectives—not just memorize names and dates.
Each course (US3 and US4) includes:- Video-based sessions that explain key ideas through real-world visuals
- Document-based lessons with primary and secondary sources
- Audio versions of the readings, read by the professor himself
- Built-in comprehension checks and self-assessments
- Guided notes, CLEP prep, and structured writing assignments
- Intensity options: standard or AP/CLEP track
When completed together, US3 and US4 provide the following transcript-ready credits:
- 1 credit in U.S. History
- 0.5 credit in Rhetoric and Logic
- 0.5 credit in American Literature
Students are encouraged to build a portfolio as they go, logging time spent, work completed, and samples of written assignments. The Instructor’s Guide, included, shows you exactly how to translate this into high school credit documentation.
This 12-month subscription offers flexibility for different pacing needs and comes with lifetime access to updates. Bonus: the program is self-paced, completely online, and visually polished. Content is faith-neutral but sometimes includes historical artwork with partial nudity, so plan accordingly.
This course isn’t just for college-bound students—though it certainly prepares him. It’s for any teen who needs to learn how to analyze, synthesize, and not fall for the first flashy headline he sees. With The Nomadic Professor, he’ll come away with more than a history credit—he’ll come away with discernment.

How to Use The Nomadic Professor: US History 3 and 4
- Set aside time to complete three sessions a week. Most units have four video-based lessons and one document-based deep dive, so pacing matters.
- Stick with that rhythm. You'll cruise through all 100 sessions across US3 and US4 by the end of the school year.
- Download the Instructor's Guide. Start building a portfolio to track hours, assignments, and assessments for credit documentation.
- Use the guided notes and self-assessments. They keep things tight and on track.
- Want to level up? Try the AP/CLEP track for a month. If it's clicking, keep going. Earning extra credit in rhetoric, logic, and American lit now means fewer core classes later.
- Encourage your teen to take notes, analyze primary sources, and write with clarity. He'll be doing this in college anyway.
- Don't forget the built-in audio narration. Just in case your teen prefers listening while folding laundry.
- Prepare for occasional historical artwork with partial nudity. Decide ahead of time how you'll handle that.
- When the course wraps you'll have a student who can tackle tough topics with logic, context, and confidence—and a transcript ready to prove it.
