ACADEMIC CREDIT
While the Institute provides up to 15 hours of recommended academic credit per semester and 3 to 6 hours in the summer semester, it is not an independently accredited program. Students may receive credit from Union University in partnership with the Institute, either toward a Youth Ministry major or minor at Union or as transfer credits for those students not seeking a Union University degree. Students may also receive credit from their home institution

dependent upon their school's transfer credit policies. If you are ready to begin

the application process you can have the forms mailed to you. Fill out the form on

the contact us page and let us know how you would like it sent!

ONE-YEAR INTERNSHIP AVAILABLE!
the Institute specializes in mentoring young men and women in leadership and life purpose. To this end, we provide an exciting one-year program that not only provides academic credit but also "Practicums" in a variety of disciplines, such as business management, worship/drama/speaking skills, tech, and more! Students are employed by Global Youth Ministry and add to their resume while attending classes on campus. The cost of this program is considerably less than the academic-only program. Please contact us for more information regarding the One-Year Internship!
