INDEPENDENT INDIVIDUALIZED PROGRAM PATHWAY TO ADMISSION AND COMPLETION The competency level of a prospective student is evaluated by review of the individual's application for admission and a portfolio. The portfolio includes a detailed ministerial/occupational resume, official transcripts and other documents supporting previous academic work, and specialized training certificates. Evaluation of each individual's portfolio of documents is the key component for acceptance of an individual into an independent and individualized degree program for either undergraduate or graduate work. The evaluation is planned to determine whether an applicant has the appropriate educational background, occupational accomplishment and attitudinal motivation necessary to function effectively in an independent, individualized educational environment. Motivation is a fundamental factor for determining whether an individual can successfully function in this type of learning situation. You must be a member of the Body of Christ to participate in this education opportunity. If you are not a member, click here. Final Assessment Concurrent Degree Programs THE FINAL ASSESSMENT DEGREE CANDIDATES The Final Assessment offers the Graduate Review Committee an opportunity to review and assess all course work requirements, and research project, or thesis requirements, and research project, or thesis requirements completed during the student's program. The Assessment is intended to determine that the student has completed all graduation requirements, and has demonstrated an adequate level of competence in the study program. The Final Assessment is conducted as a University function and does not require student participation. Ultimately, a Final Assessment Report and transcript are prepared and placed in the student's file, which documents the rationale supporting the award of the degree. The Final Assessment of each doctoral degree candidate's records offers the Doctoral Review Committee an opportunity to review and assess the results of all completed course work assignments as well as the Dissertation portion of each candidate's program. The Final Assessment is intended to determine whether the candidate has demonstrated level of competence and learning outcomes comparable to those expected from a doctoral candidate in a more traditional setting. Upon acceptance of the committee of all work presented, the candidate will receive immediate acknowledgment of satisfaction of all graduation requirements. A formal Final Assessment Committee Report will be placed in the candidate's portfolio. The degree and official transcript will be mailed to the graduate upon receipt of the degree from the engraver.
