What are the application requirements for ICT?

How do students in ICT maintain community in an online program?

  • The most important way we maintain community is to group students into cohorts that are moving through the curriculum at a similar pace, either a full-time pace or a half-time pace.

  • The cohort is a source of genuine community to the student, providing support, accountability and wisdom. In addition, students are expected to maintain close relationships in their own local environments through churches, friendships, and organizations of like-minded people.

  • Finally, students are mentored, supported and discipled in various ways throughout their time in ICT by ICT instructors and staff.

What educational programs does ICT offer?

  • ICT offers a Certificate or Graduate Certificate in Community Transformation in which students can choose an Area of Focus.

  • ICT offers college level and graduate school level courses that can be put toward an AA, BS, BA, or MA Degree Completion Program at City Vision University and BA and MA at Kairos University. For more information, email us.

How long does it take to complete the Community Transformation Certificate?

  • Full-time students can complete the program in 2 year.

  • Part-time students can complete each level in 1 year. Part-time students can complete all 3 levels in 3 years.
