Transfer Credits from Other Seminaries in Antioch Project Immerse
Immerse is structured such that students are able to bring approved graduate-level credits into the program as evaluated at the time of admission. No more than one-third of overall degree credits can be transferred into Immerse due to the mastery of outcomes, mentor-based approach of the degree.
