Prospective Students

Course Options

CVTS offers you, as a student, a broad variety of individual courses. In addition, CVTS has grouped several courses into Programs of Study. These two options are described below.

Option 1: Enroll in a Program of Study

A Program of Study is a group of selected courses bundled to provide training in a specific area. Each Program of Study is designed to encourage you to pursue more comprehensive and focused study of specialized areas of interest. Programs of Study consist of traditional classes, along with workshops and practical experience. These Programs are planned so that you can complete the program over two consecutive semesters beginning in the fall. When you successfully complete a Program of Study, you will be awarded a certificate of completion at the end of the Program.

Several Programs of Study are offered this school year:

·         Biblical Studies                                       

·         Christian Foundations                            

·         Christian Ministry                                   

·         Discipleship                                                                            

·         Family Studies                                        

·         Lay Counseling                                       

·         Leadership                                              

·         Life Skills                                               

·         Prayer and Intercession

               

As a student who enrolls in CVTS Programs of Study, you should keep in mind that:

1.        Enrolling in a Program of Study requires taking specific courses each semester for two consecutive semesters, beginning in the fall.

2.       The tuition to enroll in a Program of Study is discounted to $75 from the regular price of $100. This cost includes all courses included in the Program of Study during a single school year.

3.        During fall registration, students will select all courses for the entire year.

 

Option 2: Enroll in Individual Courses

Enrolling in an individual course is a popular option for students who want to take certain specified courses and for those who are “trying out” CVTS. This option also allows you to continue your Christian education without enrolling in a lengthier program. You can choose individual courses and take them at your own pace.

If you want to continue your studies after completing a Program of Study, you may also enjoy this option. For example, after completing the Program of Study in Ordained Ministry, you may want to take a new class offered in your area of ministry, or some other area.

With some exceptions (i.e., closed classes or prerequisites), every class offered through CVTS is available to all students.

Currently, individual courses are offered in:

·         Bible Studies
