LEAP Program

The Life Experience Assessment Program (LEAP) is designed to apply college credits towards the Degree Program of the student's choice. This affords the student to be credited with what they have already learned. In addition, students may qualify for their degree with a minimum of course requirements.

LEAP is designed to bestow college level credits to individuals who submit valid and verifible information on their resume to be accredited towards their Degree Program. Prior learning, work/ministry/military experience, seminars attended, books read and professional licenses, certificates and diplomas are evaluated for credit. LEAP also allows a student to have up to 75% of their required credits towards their Degree awarded without additional course work, exams or academic papers.

In order to qualify for the LEAP Program, the student must present verifiable proof of the following:

1. All previous credit earned (must submit official transcripts)
2. All previously earned Certificates, Diplomas and/or Degrees (photocopies of originals)
3. A complete Professional/Theological/Ministerial Resume
4. Listing of books read, courses and seminars attended (credit or non-credit)
5. If the student has published theological works, the student must present copies of all such works to the LEAP Review Committee

There is a $250.00 Portfolio Assessment Fee required to review and calculate total credits to be awarded for prior learning and professional credits earned. This Assessment Fee must be paid in full at time of application/enrollment and is non-refundable. [click here to apply]
