History of Global University Global University has a distinguished heritage spanning almost six decades. The Distance Education Schools developed because it was recognised that not everyone who desired ministerial preparation could attend a residential Bible training institution. The Berean School of the Bible was created in 1947 providing distance education for ministerial candidates. International Correspondence Institute (ICI) was founded to provide evangelism, discipleship, workers training as well as bachelor s degrees to students all over the world. ICI became ICI University in 1993. Both the Berean School and International Correspondence Institute grew rapidly and merged with the same mission and educational approach. Global University now has four schools: (1) School for Evangelism and Discipleship (2) Berean School of the Bible (3) Undergraduate school of Bible and Theology and (4) Graduate School of Theology. ICI Theological College Australia Graduate School Prospectus All of these schools of Global University are truly global in outreach. Dr Gary Seevers Jr. (pictured left) is the current President. Mission of Global University Global University is a Christian University in the Pentecostal tradition that: integrates education and service through a worldwide network for student support. provides access to ministerial training from discipleship to postgraduate level. produces curricular and materials in multiple languages. serves the local church and Christian community through evangelism, discipleship and leadership training through non-residential distributed learning methods. www.icicollege.com.au 3

History of ICI College, Australia ICI Colleges globally, administer Global University material throughout the world. ICI College Australia commenced in 1976. Originally based in Brisbane, it initially formed the diploma and bachelorʼs curriculum of the Commonwealth Bible College. The College was moved to Katoomba, then Chester Hill, New South Wales. In the early 1990s ICI College Australia had dozens of students around Australia and then became an exclusively Distance Education College. By the end of the 1990s it was separated from the Commonwealth Bible College (which had changed its name to Southern Cross College). A few years after this, its Assemblies of God (Australian Christian Churches) oversight relinquished its interest in the College. In 2003, it was relocated to Tasmania. It now has students all across Australia and from most denominations - Evangelical and Pentecostal. In 2004, ICI College Australia was audited by the Distance Education Training Council (the worldʼs most prestigious accrediting body for distance education providers) and became just one of five Australian Tertiary Education Providers to be accredited by them. ICI College Australia is now one of the most highly regarded providers of Biblical, Theological and Ministry training by distance, in Australia. Last year we have introduced the Graduate School programs for Post-Graduate studies. It is our vision to help train and equip those called to Christian ministry - either as a vocational call, or service within a local church. It is our goal that our graduates will help address the urgent and growing need in Australia to eradicate Biblical illiteracy and demonstrate how Godʼs Word connects with the challenge of life today. 4! www.icicollege.com.au

Graduate School of Theology The mission of the Graduate school of Theology is to provide advanced, in-depth, specialized study of the Bible and related subjects at the post-bachelor s degree level. It s purpose is to equip students with skills and methodologies to prepare them to be life-long learners as they participate in individual research, personal scholarship and practical application. Special attention is given to preparing students to teach and minister the uniqueness of the Christian faith from a Pentecostal unction and perspective. The Graduate School of Theology offers post-baccalaureate degrees and certificates through structured distance-education utilizing mentors and printed/electronic materials to guide students in their study and research. Graduate Studies Certificates are offered in New Testament Studies, Education, Intercultural Studies and Leadership. The degrees offered are a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies, Master of Arts in Ministerial Studies, Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry. Students are encouraged to think reflectively on Biblical truth and ministry practices and to communicate the gospel effectively, both orally and in writing in the specific culture in which they live. Objectives in the courses will be assessed through course work or reflective papers, and a thesis (where applicable), service learning requirements, practicums, internships, language exams (where applicable), and follow-up surveys. Dr. David DeGarmo is the Dean of the Graduate School of Theology. The Mission of Graduate Degree Programs The twofold mission of the Graduate school of Theology is to accomplish the following overarching goals: Train leaders for the various ministries of the church by providing theologically sound, intellectually broad and deep learning courses and use experiences that are responsive to their spiritual needs Equip leaders to minister, evangelise and teach the Pentecostal message. www.icicollege.com.au 5

Letter from the Graduate School Dean Pioneer Pentecostal scholar and Englishman Donald Gee said it best: An educated preacher is good; an inspired teacher is better; and inspired, educated preacher is best. Our goal for Global Universityʼs Graduate School of Theology is to provide a level of training that is both academically challenging and saturated with the leading of the Holy Spirit, so our graduates will be educated and inspired to perform their calling with a servantʼs heart and in the power of the Holy Spirit. All faculty and staff of the Graduate School of Theology are committed to serving our students and being role-models of what it means to be a godly person and how to a Spirit-led person who serves others. One distinctive of our program is that it allows our students to study while in ministry rather than to study for ministry. David DeGarmo, D.Min. Dean: Graduate School of Theology. Letter from ICI College Australia President Andrew Corbett is the President of ICI College Australia. The pursuit of knowledge is often categorised as either ʻheadʼ or ʻheartʼ knowledge. Some people thus regard the pursuit of more advanced Theological or Biblical knowledge as merely acquiring ʻheadʼ knowledge. But true knowledge has no such categories. The knowledge stimulates the mind and informs the heart. The challenge of graduate studies is its own reward and its produce is a sharpened mind more closely in rhythm with a heart for God and people. The Holy Spirit calls, enables and sustains certain ones to go further, deeper and before those they lead and kits them to do this with graduate level study programs. Is the Spirit calling you to be a certain one?!!!!!!!!!! Andrew Corbett, D.Min.!!!!!!!!! President of ICI College, Australia 6! www.icicollege.com.au

Course Codes and Components Each regular course/subject has a 6 month enrolment period. Students can request an extension for 6 months for each course. Exceptions to this are the RES6913 Research Methodology and RES8953 Dissertation Research and Proposal that have a 9 month enrolment period and a further 3 months extension. A degree-plan-specific program can also have a thesis or dissertation (RES6926, RES8966) with a 1 year enrolment plus a 1 year extension, when requested. When selecting a subject it is important to consider the following. The letters in a course code shows the division that the subject is in. The numerics indicate the difficulty and credits of the subject. The first number identifies the year-level or difficulty of the course with the number 5, 6, 7 or 8. The second and third number are course identifier and the final number is the number of credits the course is given, therefore showing the amount of work required. For example, BNT5013 is a Bible New Testament first year subject worth 3 credits Bible Studies Ministerial Studies General Education BIB Bible EDU Education RES Research BNT Bible New Testament LDR Leadership BOT Bible Old Testament MIN Ministries THE Theology MIS Missions Courses contain several components for evaluation - a reflective paper, a spoken requirement, and some have a practicum or internship and specific courses (such as languages) have final examinations. At the end of the Master of Arts programs, if a thesis hasnʼt been completed, a Capstone paper must be written. If a thesis has not been completed in the Master of Divinity program, a Theology of Ministry paper must be completed. The Doctoral studies student must complete a dissertation at the completion of the core subjects within the program, a comprehensive exam must be completed before a dissertation can be enrolled in. Assignment Requirements It is expected with distance education, that students will spend approximately 180 hours in study, research and writing for each 3 credit course. (That is, 2-3 hrs per week per 6 month enrolment period, per credit.) For a 3 credit subject, this time is expected to be distributed between the following: 1. Assigned reading (approximately 1000 pages, plus a further 500 pages for the doctoral program) 2. Interacting with study guide questions, using critical and contextual thinking www.icicollege.com.au 9

3. Applying research techniques. The study guide provides the opportunity for students to refine and develop research techniques. 4. Writing. With the exception of the language courses, each unit of study requires students write assignments of 1000-2000 words with a final paper of being 5000-6250 words 5. Making practical application. A Service Learning Requirement (SLR) is required with each subject. This is usually a spoken assignment showing that the student has been able to apply the knowledge gained by the course in a practical ministry setting. A written summary report (about 200-400 words) of this needs to be submitted. This is peer evaluated, and although required by ICI/Global, is not a graded submission. 6. Evaluations. A portion of the students grade may be determined by a 2 hour proctored exam. Master s Thesis Requirements Students who elect to write a thesis as a part of a Master of Arts or Master of Divinity degree program will be required to enrol in and write the thesis on an approved subject or topic that is specific to the degree plan the student has chosen. The thesis should be taken after RES6913 Research Methodology has been completed and when the student is within 12 credits of completing the program. By the time the student enrols in the thesis, they should have determined a thesis topic. The student works with an assigned mentor to clearly define the topic. The student will undertake individual research, applying the skills from Research Methodologies. The final work will include a one page abstract, and a 19,000-31,000 word document. The student is then required to proof read it and make an oral defense of the thesis to a small committee (usually by electronic conferencing) before making a final submission. 10! www.icicollege.com.au

Practicum Requirement All students who receive a Master of Divinity are required to complete a 3 credit fieldbased practicum within the last 12 credits required for the program. This is a supervised learning experience. This can also be taken as a Master of Arts elective. A student is expected to engage in a minimum of 45 hours of ministry related activity within a 3 month period, this is in addition to the time required for the reading and writing components of the course. Typical practicum types include administrative, educational, evangelism, preaching and youth ministry. The Graduate School director, student, mentor and on site-practicum supervisor all need communications through this course. This requirement also requires reading (at least 200 pages), academic writing (5000-6000 words), reflective writing (2500+ words) and a review. Capstone - Master of Arts A Master of Arts student who does not write a thesis must complete a capstone after completing all other components of their program. A capstone paper should be 5000-6000 words and make use of reflection, evaluation. It must include citations from previous readings, research and scripture. In the capstone paper, the student will synthesise their philosophy of ministry, state the strategy to implement the stated philosophy and present a plan for soliciting feedback to determine whether the plan is effective. The paper will include a 5 year strategic ministry plan focussing on 2 or 3 points that have been learned in the courses just completed and how it has impacted their approach to ministry. Theology of Ministry Paper - Master of Divinity A Master of Divinity student who does not complete a thesis as part of their program will be required to complete a theology of Ministry paper in addition to and after the program has been completed. The paper should be 6,250-7,500 words and it must include citations from previous readings, research and scripture. The paper utilises 2 or 3 points that have been learned in the courses just completed. In the Theology of Ministry paper, the student will synthesize their theology of ministry, present a Biblical defense for this theology, develop a strategy to integrate theology and personal philosophy into a workable ministry plan for a given cultural setting, and present a plan to soliciting feedback to determine the effectiveness of the proposed ministry plan. www.icicollege.com.au 11

Doctoral Candidacy Examination Requirement A student must complete a supervised comprehensive doctoral candidacy examination and receive a minimum score of 83% (3.00), prior to being granted Doctor of Ministry degree candidacy status. The student is eligible to request to take the exam after completing all the Doctor of Ministry degree courses. The student must have a grade point average of 3.00 or higher for all graduate-level courses completed with Global University to qualify to apply for doctoral candidacy. This exam has a fee. Without achieving doctoral candidacy the student will not be able to enrol in doctoral dissertation course. The exam is administered in 2 parts, and each part should take up to 3 hours. In the first part, the student will respond to 3 questions related to the core courses for the Doctor of Ministry program. The second part will require the student to respond to questions related to the student s doctoral degree specialization. Doctoral Dissertation Requirements All Doctor of Ministry degree candidates are required to complete one doctoral dissertation project. The dissertation is comprised of two parts (1) research and proposal and (2) writing and defense. To complete the project requirements, the student will be required to enrol in RES8953 Dissertation Research and Proposal, to research a topic and complete a dissertation project proposal approved by the dissertation advisor. Then the student must enrol in RES8966 Dissertation Writing and Defense. Students are encouraged to begin planning for the dissertation at the beginning of their program, even though they cannot enrol in these courses until they have completed all the core subjects and passed the Doctoral Candidacy exam. The process of pursuing the Doctoral dissertation involves choosing a topic with the help of a mentor, developing and applying research and writing skills, submitting a proposal, and writing a dissertation (of 19,000-31,000 words for exegetical projects or 31,000-43,000 for church ministry projects). It then involves several reviews and an oral defense of the dissertation to a dissertation committee, usually by electronic conferencing. The paper will then need further editing and re-submitting and a sharing of the document. Assistance Faculty Mentors, approved by the Dean to mentor specific courses will be assigned to facilitate and assess the in-depth applied research and writing projects to be completed by the students who enrol in a given course. The mentor will guide the student in the directed coursework, be available for questions and assess the assignments. A Thesis Advisor is a Global University faculty member who is a content specialist. An advisor assists a Master of Arts or Master of Divinity student to formulate a problem, construct appropriate applied research questions, develop ideas, compose a proposal, conduct research, compile and analyze results in a written thesis, edit the thesis and prepare the thesis for evaluation. The Thesis Advisor also chairs the thesis committee when it is time for the studentʼs evaluation. 12! www.icicollege.com.au

A Dissertation Project Advisor is a Global University faculty member who is a content and research specialist. An advisor assists a student enrolled in a Doctor of Ministry program. The advisor has the same responsibilities for the student undertaking a dissertation as the thesis advisor has for the student doing a thesis. Graduate Academic Status Students are expected to maintain a grade point average of 3.00 (83%), and a passing grade for each subject is 70%. Grading System Global University uses a 100-base numeric grading system for its graduate level courses based on the following grade percentages with equivalent letter grades and grade points. Percentage Description Grade Point 97-100% A+ (superior) 4.00 93-96% A (excellent) 4.00 90-92% A- (excellent) 3.67 87-89% B+ (good) 3.33 83-86% B (good) 3.00 80-82% B- (satisfactory) 2.67 77-79% C+ (satisfactory) 2.33 73-76% C (satisfactory) 2.00 70-72% C- (poor) 1.67 below 70% F (failing) 0.00 Grades will be emailed to students at completion of each submission, and final grades given at the conclusion of the subject. Final grades can also be accessed at any stage with your name and password from http//mail.gustudents.org. If a student whose cumulative grade point average falls below 3.00 will be put on probation. This simply means that they will be restricted to only taking one subject at a time. If the students cumulative grade average is below 3.00 at the conclusion of their program, they will not receive their certificate. To recognize the academic achievements of students who study at a distance, the highest international distance-education accrediting board, DETC, established the Delta Epsilon Tau Honor Society (DET). DET membership brings honor and earned recognition to individuals who have worked diligently to acquire new knowledge and skills from an accredited distance-learning institution. The fact that someone is invited to membership sets him or her apart form other students and clearly demonstrates their serious commitment to distance education and self-study. The requirement for membership in the Global University chapter is graduation from a degree or diploma program with a minimum grade point average of 3.67. www.icicollege.com.au 13

Advanced Standing Students who have completed graduate subjects from another university may request a transfer of credits for into the Global University programs. These are only likely to be granted if they have received B- or above. A student may request a transfer of a maximum 6 credits into a Graduate Studies Certificate program, 9 graduate credits for the Master of Arts program, or 21 graduate credits into a Master of Divinity program. A maximum of 3 Doctoral-level credits can be requested for transfer into the Doctor of Ministry degree. Another means for a reduction of credits required for the Master of Divinity is available for students who have completed a bachelor s degree in Bible and Theology. A maximum of 21 graduate equivalency credits may be received on the Bible and theology subjects if the subject has received a grade of at least 80%. Students wishing to embark on a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies (New Testament) or Master of Divinity program may have Greek or Hebrew language waived if they have completed these subjects (with at least 80%) in an undergraduate program. No credit is given for experience based learning. 14! www.icicollege.com.au

Graduate Programs Graduate Certificate Studies - 18 credits ICI/Global University offer several Graduate Certificates. Each require the student to complete 18 credits of 3-credit courses.

A student who has earned a bachelor degree may also request special permission to pursue a Graduate Studies Certificate. No-one will be permitted into this program without a Bachelor degree. Subject specific credit can be transferred from other completed graduate courses, but a minimum of 12 new credits must be completed with ICI/Global University. All courses in the Graduate Certificate programs are fully transferable into the higher degree programs (eg. Masters) subject to compatibility. A minimum of 9 new credits need to be earned for the Masters of Arts programs and 24 new credits for a Master of Divinity and 27 for the Doctor of Ministry program.
