7/8 Cohort
For Pastoral Students in Their 7th and 8th Years
What follows is the academic completion plan for Examining Board transfer students who are in their 7th and 8th years. This highly specialized program is not available to the CTI General Population but only the ministers who are referred to as the 7/8 Cohort.
No other students may enroll in these courses at this time. Students who are in their 8th year must complete just the courses for Fall 2016 and those taught at the 96th General Assembly. Students who are currently enrolled in their 7th year must complete all of the courses listed on this page.
Candidates must earn a “C” or better in all courses and pass the Examining Board Exit Interview before qualifying for ordination.
