Thank you.

1. The Research Department contains those who teach the courses. Many may be involved with the grading, but only one would be the mentor and direct teacher of a particular student.

2. The cost is covered...all materials are available for free, all Research Dept. members volunteer their time...so we could use many more volunteers.

3. The "admissions" page specifies how a student becomes enrolled. Basically three things are required...
* Statement of Christian experience
* Letter of recommendation from a church officer
* Statement of your agreement with our doctrinal standards, explaining any disagreements that you have to it.

4. It is governed directly by the Research Department.

5. Why do you ask?...we don't offer either.
