Credentialing Program

The ASCI Credentialing Program at Indiana Wesleyan University is a non-degree, non-certificate program that provides graduate level course work to individuals seeking to obtain an Association for Christian Schools International (ACSI) teaching credential. The program consists of seven (7) credit hours for individuals seeking to teach in a domestic ACSI member school and ten (10) credit hours for individuals seeking to teach in an international ACSI member school. Upon completion of the required coursework, it is the individual’s responsibility to make application to ACSI for their teaching credential. The required coursework satisfies all criteria established for an ACSI teaching credential. There is no field experience required for this program.

The mission of the ASCI Credentialing program is to prepare teacher leaders to provide advanced knowledge that translates into effective teaching performances and dispositions, all of which are focused on improving P-12 student learning in private Christian schools.

The purpose of the program is to provide a course of study leading to an ACSI teaching credential that meets the professional needs of practicing Christian school teachers.
