PARTNERSHIP WITH COLSON FELLOWS
In partnership with Colson Fellows, qualifying students may earn up to 6 graduate credits from The Bible Seminary while completing the process to become a Colson Fellow.
ABOUT COLSON FELLOWS
Colson Fellows from across the globe complete a rigorous course of study that begins each July and concludes with their commissioning in May of the following year. In this ten month program, candidates follow a daily curriculum that is carefully curated and updated each year, read 12-14 books, and attend two live webinars each month with leading Christian thinkers in which they are able to engage in a lively, free-flowing exchange of ideas.
For more information, visit the Colson Fellows website.
EARNING DUAL CREDIT
Beginning with the 2023-24 Colson Fellows cohort, qualifying participants may earn credit for The Bible Seminary’s "APO 501: Apologetics - Proverbs, James, 1 Peter" and/or "ELE 501: Elective I" courses in conjunction with the Colson Fellows program. Each of these courses is a 3-credit hour class which can be applied toward a degree program at The Bible Seminary, or potentially transferred to another graduate school of the student’s choice.
In order to earn dual credit, students must complete the Colson Fellows Program AND additional requirements for APO 501 and/or ELE 501 (a one-day seminar and short written assignment for each class). Cost for the combined TBS/Colson Fellows program is $1,310 per course and includes The Bible Seminary tuition and fees, as well as the cost of the ten-month Colson Fellows program. Total cost for the 10-month Colson Fellows program AND earning 6-degree credit hours is $2,620 (a $3,520 value).
