The IGSM Difference:
6 DISTINCTIVES
1 | Affordability
Because we don’t own or rent buildings, and because we have adjunct faculty rather than full time faculty, our tuition is about 30% of what other schools charge.
2 | Accessibility
Leveraging technology, such as the internet, flash drive, and tablet computers, IGSM is able to take it’s teaching into any location in any country.
3 | Practicality
While we excel in Biblical/theological training, our main focus is on practical ministry. We help pastors and Christian leaders learn the skills they need for the everyday battles they face in ministry.
5 | Mentor Assisted Small Groups
Each week students meet in groups of 5-7 led by a qualified mentor. This provides accountability and incredible interaction among the students themselves. Small groups provide a unique opportunity for students to share their ideas and receive encouragement and support.
4 | Interdenominational
IGSM has students from more than 20 denominations taking courses. We desire that our students and our instructors represent the full body of Christ.
6 | Active Learning
Teaching and learning without activation and implementation have limited value. Therefore, we use learning strategies focused on “Active Learning” rather than the more traditional “Passive Learning” techniques. This requires students take significant responsibility in the learning process.
