Academic Partnerships
One of the core values of the Coalition is academic excellence. Each of the professors who teach the eight residential intensives have been carefully chosen for their expertise in the subject matter they deliver. Several colleges and seminaries have recognized the academic value of this program and have initiated partnerships with the Coalition that allow students to receive academic credit for their participation. Students who are just beginning their academic career may use their Coalition credits to account for a significant portion of an undergraduate (Bachelor’s) degree, and those who have completed their undergraduate work, may pursue a graduate (Master’s) degree.
