 Approximately
85 accredited colleges, universities and seminaries are
members of the Consortium of Associated Schools of Jerusalem University
College. Thus, students from these schools may develop a program of
study which will transfer into their degree at their home institution.
The schools treat JUC as an extension campus of their own
institution. By prior agreement they send their students for a semester
or year of studies, or for shorter intensive block studies of
two or three weeks duration.
Consortium members have the privilege to
elect representatives to the board of directors of Jerusalem University
College in the categories
of Seminaries and Graduate Schools (one rep) and Colleges and
Universities (two reps) as well as a
Chairperson. This four person advisory group forms the membership and
education committee and helps to oversee the academic
integrity of the programs of JUC and ensure that courses
meet the needs of students at the member institutions. The
consortium forms the basis for the accreditation of high academic
standards at JUC. |

Schools in the
United States and Canada must be accredited
either by one of the regional accrediting bodies or
professionally (Association
of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, ATS,
Association for Biblical Higher Education, ABHE or
Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and
Schools, TRACS). Non North American schools,
must be accredited according to the nationally
accepted accreditation standards of their country or region, such as the Asian
Association of Theological Schools, ATA.
All member schools
theological beliefs, creeds or statements of
faith should be compatible with that of the National
Association of Evangelicals statement of faith. See
below for a link to this statement.
Schools become
members of the
Consortium thus allowing them to enter a contractual agreement with Jerusalem University College, which states the
obligations of each institution. Schools submit an annual consortium member dues,
currently $250. This agreement is a part of the
application package referenced below.
Schools promote the
course offerings of JUC in their catalogs or calendars They may
substitute their own course number equivalencies and agree to readily
treat academic credit earned at JUC as their own.
Schools agree to
keep the student enrolled at their own institution while studying at JUC
and under their own guidelines process any financial aid or awards the
student may normally be eligible to receive. |
