Schedule
The following is a proposed schedule of courses for the duration of the Youth Leadership Training Program. Students are free to customize their own schedule with the advice of both the Seminary and the church. It should be noted, however, that the Diploma must be completed (minimum G.P.A. 3.0) before the student can be admitted to Master of Arts courses within ACTS Seminaries.
The Diploma part of the program will include a significant component of closely mentored, practical, in-church training.
Admission to the Master’s component of the program will be on academic probation for the first 15 credits of the Master’s level study pending achievement of an acceptable GPA.
