YOU CAN
JUMP-START
your degree program or accelerate your degree completion time by
attending one or more of these group learning events. Held at
various locations throughout the year, these seminars have been the
ideal option for hundreds of students. The benefits of
attending go far beyond the degree program objective. The
spiritual component of the seminars is an intangible that is
difficult to precisely describe, but most students come away with a
renewed sense of vision not unlike a revival of passion and
commitment to their ministry calling. In addition, you will
have an opportunity to meet other students, and form friendships
that will last a lifetime!

QUICK OVERVIEW
OF
THE ACCELERATED LEARNING SEMINARS
Accelerated Learning Seminars are an additional learning
alternative provided for the benefit of those individuals who find
some face-to-face instruction helpful. Students enrolled in a
regular off-campus program are NOT required to attend a
Seminar in order to complete their degree program. Though the
Seminar method of study may not appeal to everyone, for some, it is
an ideal supplement.
 Most
students who elect to attend Accelerated Seminars do so after
enrolling in the standard distance education program, deciding later
to substitute one or more of the standard courses in their
program. However, it is possible at the time of enrollment to
indicate your interest in the Accelerated Seminar option. In
fact, depending upon the degree major, it may be possible to
complete an entire degree program by attending Accelerated Seminars.
The regular low-cost tuition is for
off-campus or online, non face-to-face instruction. When
face-to-face
instruction is offered,
which enables the student to complete the requirements for the
course through an Accelerated Seminar, it is necessary to charge a
Fee. Most students appreciate that the dynamics of on-site
instruction and the time-savings, more than offset and justify the
Seminar Fee. In addition, Seminar teaching faculty are
carefully selected in order to provide a unique learning experience.
In most cases, one would not otherwise have an opportunity to study
face-to-face with such highly accomplished individuals.
Accelerated Seminars are scheduled with the general student body in
mind. This allows most students to qualify for one or more of
the Seminars. Seminars that fall within the student's
degree discipline, or qualify as an elective, may be used to replace
one or more of the core courses in a curriculum.
Seminars
are held in a variety of venues. The most common are one or more day
venues with a varying amount of pre-seminar and post-seminar
assignments required, depending on the type of seminar. Most
Seminars are limited to a class size of between 15-20. This allows
the students and professors close interaction. To earn your course
credits through an Accelerated Seminar you will complete the
following steps:
1. Complete the pre-seminar assignments.
2. Attend the Seminar and complete the in-seminar assignments.
3. Following the seminar (depending on the type of seminar), you may
also complete post-seminar work, though some seminars do not have
post-seminar assignments.
If you
believe you would benefit by attending an Accelerated Seminar, we
hope as you review the following schedule, you will find a
Seminar that is right for you!
