Adult Education and Formation

Since 1964, IPS has offered quality adult education and ongoing formation for church and pastoral leaders. Courses may be taken as part of a degree or certificate program, or individually to address specific life interests or work needs. Our distinguished faculty offer dynamic and practical courses on a wide range of topics. Courses may be offered in the classroom, online, or via a combination of both. Courses may be taken for credit or audit. Audited courses are charged at 50% of the normal tuition rate plus applicable fees.
