Students who attend an in-person or online conference can earn up to 3 college credits at a fraction of the cost of a Christian university. College credit is offered through Bryan College in Dayton, TN. This course is titled “Contemporary Worldviews” and transcripted as Philosophy 111. Because Bryan is accredited, most schools usually accept the credits. However, it is best to contact your college’s Registrar’s Office to see if they will accept this course.
A separate registration for college credit must be filled out and turned in to the office staff by noon on the second Monday of the session. Include your non-refundable tuition payment—$450 for three credits, $350 for two credits, and $250 for one credit.
