All participants attending at least 90% (40 hours) of scheduled class sessions receive a Certificate of Completion/ Certificat d'Assuidité from the Academy. Those registrants wishing to obtain U.S. academic credit will sit for a written examination on the final day of the program. Successful completion of this culminating examination qualifies a student for 3 semester hours of academic credit; additional credit up to a total of 9 semester hours may be earned by arrangement with Patrick Henry College (undergraduate credit) or with the Academy itself (graduate credit). On attending a second Academy program in Strasbourg (not necessarily in consecutive years), and after completing the written examination at the end of that session, one may sit for an oral examination which, if successfully completed, leads to designation as a Fellow of the Academy (F.C.A.). Also, on attending a second Academy Session in Strasbourg, one may defend a thesis on an approved apologetics topic, thereby obtaining the Academy's Diploma in Christian Apologetics (Dipl.C.A.) or Human Rights (Dipl.H.R.) |
The statue honoring Johann Gutenberg is located in the heart of Strasbourg. Gutenberg is the father of printing, and the Bible was his first printed book. |
Only $2,995, exclusive of transportation to/from Strasbourg. This amount covers registration, all tuition and instructional fees, lodging throughout the session, and most meals. It also covers all tuition and instructional fees for the Academy and a minimum of 3 semester hours of U.S. academic credit for those who qualify. A full day's bus excursion to the Vosges Mountains and the medieval villages of the Alsace on Bastille Day (July 14) is also included. This amazingly low price is possible because the French government subsidizes bona fide foreign students as well as students who are French nationals. The Scholarship Fund provides 10 scholarships of $1000 each to needy students to attend the 2008 International Academy Summer Study Session. An additional scholarship of $1500 for a science educator or a student majoring in science or in science education is generously provided by Drs. Don and Mary Korte, Fellows of the Academy. Criteria: (1) Financial need; and (2) intended benefit from participation. Deadline for Scholarship Applications (by personal letter): January 1, 2008. |
