Partnership Degree Program

Pursuit College has partnered with Faith International University (FIU*) to offer fully accredited degrees at the bachelors, masters, and doctoral levels.

Students who do not seek an accredited degree will gain valuable knowledge and practical ministry skills while being spiritually formed in a thriving church community. 

Completing Pursuit College’s two-year program can lead to recognition through ministerial licensure and ordination, as well as consideration for an invite-only ministry placement internship and potential employment opportunities.

Degree-seeking students can earn an accredited degree through our cohort partnership program with Faith International University (FIU). Students can earn an accredited bachelor’s degree in two years by completing courses at Pursuit College and additional online courses through FIU. Degree options include Leadership, Religion/Theology, Education, Counseling Psychology, and Business. Eligible students can also earn master’s and doctoral degrees.


Students of Pursuit College will receive the following benefits through FIU:

  • Transfer up to 45 credits from Pursuit College to FIU

  • Earn an additional 70 credits through the Accelerated Degree Pathway

  • Receive a 33% scholarship (bachelor’s through doctoral)

  • Federal Financial Aid and the Pell Grant (must be enrolled at FIU)
