Undergraduate Credit Courses

The Institute of Pastoral Initiatives is pleased to announce an exciting new initiative by our Institute: courses which can be taken for undergraduate credit!  These courses, with their content, requirements, and facilitators, offer a level of study enabling students who cannot devote the time or resources to a traditional undergraduate-level course of study to earn college credits in theology. 

These courses:

·          Are approved by the University of Dayton as credit yielding courses.

·          Can be used toward completion of an undergraduate degree at another school, provided the student was admitted into the program and the host school accepts the credits.

·          Last five weeks per course for one credit hour.

·            If students finish at least three courses, they will have earned three credits or the equivalent of completing a traditional semester-long class.

Each one credit class costs $200.  Even after calculating the total for a full-track of classes, this is a great value considering the content and personal attention a student would receive from our course facilitators when compared with traditional classes.
