International Theological University offers qualified men and women the opportunity to earn their degree with Life Experience/Education. Students who earn sufficient units with life experience, to graduate, may apply for graduation immediately without taking additional classes.
Qualified Individuals who wish to use the Life Experience Option may "Challenge" each class with Their Life Experience/Education.
At most universities, the "Challenge" of a College Class is in the form of a student paying the tuition, taking the final examination for a course, and receiving college credit if the examination is passed. International Theological University uses "Authentic Assessment" instead of a written final examination. The Challenge, by Authentic Assessment, is in the form of a student's demonstrated ability and knowledge that may be verified from a resume and/or an applicant's work history.

Excerpt from President Obama's Address to the Joint Congress of the
United States of America - February 24, 2009 "It is our responsibility as lawmakers and educators to make this (Education) system work. But it is the responsibility of every citizen to participate in it. And so tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. This can be community college or a four-year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma. And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. Its not just quitting on yourself, its quitting on your country and this country needs and values the talents of every American." |

Individuals must have a Bachelor of Arts Degree from International Theological University prior to Ordination into the Ministry.
Traditional University Program
General Information
Evaluation: The preferred form of evaluation is from term papers and reports written by students. There are no "tests" for most subjects during a student's course of study. All grades depend on the students' term papers and reports submitted.
Students who take Science and Math Classes will have a Proctored Final Exam. Final Exams may be Proctored by a Pastor, Librarian, Attorney, Real Estate Broker or by any other approved person. Proctors must be pre-approved by the University prior to final examination.
Students who study language will have to submit written papers and tapes in the language of study for evaluation by their Language Professor. All language professors are "Native Speakers".
Term Papers need not be written on knowledge that was acquired through independent study or self taught skills. Other evidence, such as licenses or letters, may be submitted as evidence of skills acquired. The same fee is charged for credit earned in this manner. However, no paper or report will be required for life experience units.
All term papers and reports are to be submitted via E-mail using Microsoft Word. Times Roman 14 is the preferred font.
Courses from other "quality" Universities and providers who have given credit for the course work will be accepted toward graduation at the same per unit cost as listed above. Only courses for which the student received 3.0, if undergraduate, or 3.5 if a graduate student, will be accepted in transfer. However, no paper or report will be required for those units.
Individuals have great latitude to create their own course of study. General guidelines have been provided to assist the student.
Declared Major: Divinity, Theology, Religious Studies, Theology, World Religions, Spiritual Traditions/Family Values, Women's Studies, Peace Studies, Spiritual Psychology or Business Ethics - thirty semester units are required in your major for the Bachelor of Arts Degree. (You will have to complete ten approved classes to satisfy this requirement. You get 3 semester units of credit for each one semester class.)
Major Requirements:
Additional Useful Link Sources for electives and general education courses to complete the Bachelor of Arts goal of 128 units: Each link on this page links to hundreds of other links that will be very useful as research tools and sources of information in many subject areas. (Bachelor of Arts Program - http://www.education-1.net/bachelorsdegree.htm)
Course Syllabus: Each course is available from the University to Registered Students. A detailed syllabus will not be provided to other Universities because each Syllabus represents the work product of International Theological University. Other professors and universities have been known to take International Theological University's work product and substitute it into their own curriculums. International Theological University Students have the option to suggest their own course syllabus for approval prior to beginning study. For Example, a student may request the study of American History from the debate of States Rights vs Federal Rights to the Assassination of Lincoln. Once approved, the student is free to limit their study of American History to the approved period.
Text books: Text books are optional. Students may find current information on just about any subject on the internet. However, if a student wishes to take advantage of the organization and structure that a text may provide, the student may select and use a text book.
Selecting a text book for a particular course: The use of a text book is optional. Most information that would be in a bound text is available on the Internet in its most recent form. However, we realize that some students feel more comfortable working with a text as a guide for what they should learn and study. We have formed a partnership with Varsity Text Books. Students may go to the Varsity Site, Select a University and see which text books are being used for particular courses. Those books may be used by our students. The books may be purchased at the Varsity Book Store Site. VARSITY BOOK STORE
Refund Policy: No refunds will be made of tuition that has been paid after the tuition was due. Tuition is due within 30 days after a student is accepted by the University. Students who fail to pass courses or who are expelled "for cause", are not entitled to a refund of tuition. Students who fail to complete courses of study are not entitled to a refund of tuition.
Refund Policy for Students making installment payments for Tuition: No refunds will be made of the down payment, installment payments or interest that have been paid by a student under an "Installment Payment" arrangement with the University. Students who run into financial difficulty after they have begun an installment payment arrangement with the University may request suspension of their programs without penalty or negative reflection on their credit. Programs may be resumed when the student's financial condition improves.
Tuition Default: No Support of Degrees or Transcripts will be given if a student is in Default on their Tuition. All tuition must be paid before a Degree will be granted. All tuition must be paid before any transcript will be released. Degrees will not be confirmed to employers or to background checking agencies if a student's tuition unpaid in any amount.
Exceptions to Refund Policy: Tuition, from Traditional Students that is paid in full may, at the University's discretion, be refunded, less a ten percent processing fee, if the Candidate dies, is unable to continue due to medical problems or suffers a tragic financial catastrophe. Other cases will be decided on a case by case basis. Generally we do not want tuition from individuals who do not wish to obtain a degree.
No Exception to Refund Policy: There are no refunds of tuition once Degrees and Transcripts have been issued to graduates of the university.
Free Use: Individuals who do not wish to seek a degree may use all of the links provided by the University at no charge. Education is and should be free to all as a Right.
Graduation Ceremony: All Degrees are awarded by mail. Our students are located in many different geographic areas and a single ceremony would not be practical. We encourage individuals to hold a ceremony at a convenient banquet room among friends. An appropriate gown may be purchased or rented for the occasion.
Inter-Faith University: International Theological University is an Inter-Faith University and may Ordain Clerics in their own particular Faith and Religious Study.
ORDINATION AS AN INDEPENDENT MINISTER
At International Theological University we view Ordination as a Vocation or "Calling" by God. It is a starting point rather than a culmination. Graduating Students, who request it, will be Ordained Independent Ministers. Credentials will be issued for such Ordination. Individuals who have been Ordained Ministers may marry, bury, sanctify, bless and are granted all of the rights and responsibilities of a minister.
All States, the Federal Government, Churches, Prison Systems, Employers and the Military recognize and respect ministers who have been Ordained by our Church and Tribe. Ordained Ministers are not agents for or Ministers of the Western Federation Tribe, of the Keepers of Creation Church or of International Theological University. Ordained Ministers are independent and may form their own congregations anywhere in the World.
The Truth About A University Degree
No Guarantees for Your Success
Accreditation
Notice:
Graduation from a university does not guarantee that a person will be able to secure a particular job, attend a particular medical, law or dental school or a graduate school in a related or in an unrelated field of study.
Students should major in areas of study that will facilitate admission to the graduate program of their choice. Each student must focus on taking classes that will provide the needed preparation for the graduate course of study desired. Students who study Arts and Letters as undergraduates may not be adequately prepared for Medical or Dental School. Students who study Theology may not be adequately prepared for Engineering or Accounting. All students should determine, for themselves, if a degree from the particular university, and in their area of study, will meet their needs for career advancement and/or vocation prior to attending the university.
Admission to a graduate school is controlled by the Admissions Committee of the accepting graduate school. Admissions Committees review all of an applicant's credentials. Current degrees, resume, letters of recommendation, income, family responsibilities, potential for successful completion of the degree program, attitude, personal appearance, writing sample, racial mix, gender, age, athletic ability, oral communication skills, undergraduate school attended, Graduate Record Exam Score and/or other graduate level test scores may all be considered. A degree from a particular University or College does not guarantee acceptance into any graduate program. Students who attend Ivy League Schools, as undergraduates, are not guaranteed a place in a Graduate School of the same University. Many students are surprised when students from other schools are put ahead of alumni by Admissions Committees.
Education is only a part of a quality resume. Employers are interested in your degree(s) but they are equally interested in your attitude, personal appearance, writing sample, racial mix, gender, age, athletic ability, oral communication skills, family situation, credit history, work history and ability to adapt and/or to learn.
Accreditation
The United States Department of Education does not Accredit any High School, College, University or any Education Program.
Here is a Quote from the U.S. Department of Education's Web Page: "An Overview of the U.S. Department of Education WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION DOES NOT DO Under the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Nothing specific is said about education in the Constitution; therefore it falls outside federal authority. In creating the Department of Education, Congress made clear its intention that the secretary of education and other Department officials be prohibited from exercising "any direction, supervision, or control over the curriculum program of instruction, administration, or personnel of any educational institution, school, or school system." The establishment of schools and colleges, the development of curricula, the setting of requirements for enrollment and graduation -- these are responsibilities handled by the various states and communities, as well as by public and private organizations of all kinds, not by the U.S. Department of Education." |
International Theological University has Legal Degree Granting Authority as a Religious University and as a Native American University. However, ITU has elected not to seek Accreditation by any Agency or Organization that is Recognized by the United States Department of Education. Such Accreditation is "Voluntary". Lack of participation does not diminish the stature of a Valid Degree Program.
Historically, Native American Schools have not been under the U.S. Department of Education. Native Schools were under the authority of the Department of the Interior and under the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The Department of the Interior and BIA made such a mess of the Native Education that the Native Tribes were able, by Act of Congress, to get back control of their own schools. Once the Tribes had control over their own schools, many, including our Tribe, refused to put their schools under the oversight or control of any Federal Agency such as the Department of Education, the National Accrediting Associations or the Regional Accrediting Associations.
Some jobs require that you hold a Degree from a Regionally Accredited University. However, a Degree from a Regionally Accredited University does not guarantee that you will get the job.
A Regionally Accredited Degree is required for teachers in Public Schools, for military wishing to enter OCS, for many State jobs such as Social Workers and Counselors, that require State Licenses. Regionally Accredited Degrees are not normally required in Business, for self-employment, for Religious Workers, Ministers, Clergy, Politicians, or for many other occupations.
International Theological University Is NOT Regionally Accredited and International Theological University's Degree may not serve you if a Regionally Accredited Degree is Required.
A degree, by itself, does not assure success. A degree opens doors that allow you to demonstrate your ability and worthiness for opportunities, promotion, pay increases and other benefits. A degree is only valuable if it is used by the holder.
A degree does give the World Notice that you are an intelligent person of quality. A degree opens the door for many jobs and opportunities that are only open to individuals who have a degree as a prerequisite to the position. A degree raises the anticipated salary that an employer expects to pay to an individual. A degree separates candidates for the same job or opportunity from each other in the estimation and esteem of an employer and the world. A degree commands instant respect for its holder.
A degree from a Theological University offers the advantage of casting you in a favorable light to potential employers. The Theological University Graduate is more likely to be perceived as a person with sound family values, an excellent work ethic, a team player, who is considerate of others and who is capable of working in a selfless manner to advance the company. Graduates of Secular Schools do not do well when compared with graduates of Theological Universities. (our opinion)

The Accelerated Degree Program, Using Life Experience, Is Recognized In The Academic And In The Larger Community As An Acceptable Alternative Way Of Earning A University Degree. |
| Excerpts From NON-TRADITIONAL EDUCATION: ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO EARN YOUR CREDENTIALS U.S. Department of Labor - Published 1996 Credit For Experience Experiential learning credit may be given for knowledge gained through job responsibilities, personal hobbies, volunteer opportunities, homemaking, and other experiences. Colleges and universities base credit awards on the knowledge you have attained, not for the experience alone. In addition, the knowledge must be college level; not just any learning will do. Throwing horseshoes as a hobby is not likely to be worth college credit. But if you've done research on how and where the sport originated, visited blacksmiths, organized tournaments, and written a column for a trade journal-well, that's a horseshoe of a different color. Adults attempting to get credit for their experience should be forewarned: Having your experience evaluated for college credit is not an easy shortcut for people who want quick-fix college credits. Not all experience, no matter how valuable, is the equivalent of college courses. Requesting college credit for your experiential learning can be tricky. You should get assistance from a credit evaluations officer at the school you plan to attend, but you should also have a general idea of what your knowledge is worth. A common method for converting knowledge into credit is to use a college catalog. Find course titles and descriptions that match what you have learned through experience, and request the number of credits offered for those courses. Once you know what credit to ask for, you must usually present your case in writing to officials at the college you plan to attend. The most common form of presenting experiential learning for credit is the portfolio. A portfolio is a written record of your knowledge along with a request for equivalent college credit. It includes an identification and description of the knowledge for which you are requesting credit, an explanatory essay of how the knowledge was gained and how it fits into your educational plans, documentation that you have acquired such knowledge, and a request for college credit. Required elements of a portfolio vary by schools but generally follow those guidelines. In identifying knowledge you have gained, be specific about exactly what you have learned. For example, it is not enough for Lynette to say she runs a business. She must identify the knowledge she has gained from running it, such as personnel management, tax law, marketing strategy, and inventory review. She must also include brief descriptions about her knowledge of each to support her claims of having those skills. The essay gives you a chance to relay something about who you are. It should address your educational goals, include relevant autobiographical details, and be well organized, neat, and convey confidence. In his essay, Jorge might first state his goal of becoming an engineer. Then he would explain why he joined the Army, where he got hands-on training and experience in developing and servicing electronic equipment. This, he would say, led to his hobby of creating remote-controlled model cars, of which he has built 20. His conclusion would highlight his accomplishments and tie them to his desire to become an electronic engineer. Documentation is evidence that you've learned what you claim to have learned. You can show proof of knowledge in a variety of ways, including audio or video recordings, letters from current or former employers describing your specific duties and job performance, blueprints, photographs or art work, and transcripts of certifying exams for professional licenses and certification-such as Alice's certification from the American Culinary Federation. Although documentation can take many forms, written proof alone is not always enough. If it is impossible to document your knowledge in writing, find out if your experiential learning can be assessed through supplemental oral exams by a faculty expert. The methods described above are merely an overview. Earning a College Degree Nontraditional students often have work, family, and financial obligations that prevent them from quitting their jobs to attend school full time. Can they still meet their educational goals? Yes. More than 150 accredited colleges and universities have nontraditional bachelor's degree programs that require students to spend little or no time on campus; over 300 others have non-traditional campus-based degree programs. Some of those schools, as well as most junior and community colleges, offer associate's degrees nontraditionally. Each school with a nontraditional course of study determines its own rules for awarding credit for prior coursework, exams, or experience, as discussed previously. After you have thoroughly investigated each prospective college or university, you can make an informed decision about which is right for you. Accreditation Accreditation is a process colleges and universities submit to voluntarily for getting their credentials. Regional agencies accredit entire schools, and professional agencies accredit either specialized schools or departments within schools. There are no national accrediting standards. Because accreditation is not mandatory, lack of accreditation does not necessarily mean a school or program is bad. Some schools choose not to apply for accreditation, are in the process of applying, or have educational methods to unconventional for an accrediting association's standards.

E-Mail and Computer Security Systems
Virus attacks and Trojan Horses are a serious problem. International Theological University has been forced to use a single computer to receive all e-mail for pre-screening against Viruses and Trojan Horses. The E-Mail Computer does not contain any University student or business files. The E-Mail is screened, sorted and then re-directed over unpublished and secure e-mail lines to the various University Departments.
Suspicious Attachments and Zipped Files are usually deleted by International Theological University's Virus Protection Programs. Many PDF files are automatically deleted. Files with ambiguous subject lines and/or from suspicious authors are deleted without opening the attached files. Messages with only happy faces or invitations to an unknown site for a special message are deleted.
Attachments must be provided as jpgs or as Word files. All attachments that are initially perceived as "safe" are opened and inspected prior to forwarding.
Messages that signal remote sites to download any information are disconnected and deleted.
All Attacks on our Computers are reported to authorities for investigation.
Some viruses come from the computers of innocent people who do not know that their systems are infected. Those individuals will be notified that their system is infected and asked to clean their systems prior to sending any additional e-mail to the University.
Malicious attackers have been arrested, fined and jailed for their activities. Computers have been seized and destroyed as part of special unit police investigations.
Attacks from International Sources are identified as Terrorists. International and Federal Agencies investigate and prosecute Terrorist Attacks.
