Accelerated Degree Program - Life Experience Option - Available

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.  The AA, BA and/or MA Degrees may be earned with Life Experience/Education alone.

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 usually 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.  ITU 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.

ITU's Students may earn university credit:

Traditional University Program

General Information

Evaluation:  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.

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, Religious Studies, Christian Theology, Islamic Studies, World Religions, Spiritual Traditions/Family Values or Business Ethics - thirty semester units are required in your major for the Bachelor of Arts Degree.  (You will have to complete ten term papers/reports to satisfy this requirement.  You get 3 semester units of credit for each term paper/report.)

Major Requirements:

Additional Useful Link Sources for electives and general education courses to complete 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)

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 entirely optional.  Most information that would be in any 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

Poor Performance by Student: Admission to the University does not guarantee that the University will grant a degree.  Students who fail to complete their course of study or who submit unacceptable term papers or reports will not be granted a Degree. (Term papers and reports that are not initially acceptable may be re-worked and re-submitted.)  Undergraduate students must maintain a Grade Point Average (GPA) of "B" - 3.0 or higher to receive a Grade of "Pass" at ITU.  Graduate Students must maintain a GPA of "A-"- 3.5 to receive a Grade of "Pass" at ITU.

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.

Exceptions to Refund Policy: Tuition 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 Righ
