How It Works
Customized Course Selection: While not every course is available every semester, our team works closely with partner schools to align offerings with your institutional priorities and student interests. Whether your faculty has a teaching gap or students express demand for a particular topic, our courses can fill those needs. You work with CCS to determine what course(s) will be available to your school and you can add them to your available catalog.
Seamless Integration: Courses are offered on CCS’s operational infrastructure, including our registrar and learning platform. This means that while your students benefit from CCS courses, your institution avoids the administrative burden of managing them.
Accreditation Alignment: While CCS courses themselves are not accredited, they are easily embedded into the broader academic programs of partner institutions, enabling students to earn credits through your ATS-accredited programs.
Independent Student Enrollment
If you're not enrolled in one of our affiliated schools but are interested in taking one of our classes, let us know. The Independent Student application fee ($50) is non-refundable. Tuition for the 2025-26 academic year will be $2000 per course, due prior to the beginning of each term. Tuition must be paid in full for students to receive access to the course on Canvas. Students may request a tuition scholarship of up to 50% of tuition at the time of application.
CCS does not participate in the Title IV federal education loan program. Students enrolled at other graduate theological institutions may consult with their home schools about whether it will be possible to use Title IV loans for CCS courses.
