Adonai International Christian Univesity
Education for Christian Leadership & Theological Excellence

Program By Course Design

AICU is a distance learning theological university and all programs are completed at home or where ever the student may be.  We use standard evangelical textbooks used at Bible colleges, seminaries, divinity schools and Christian universities along with instructional syllabi and the Turabian Manual (A Manual for writers of term papers, theses and dissertations, by Kate L. Turabian, published by the University of Chicago Press).  All textbooks and the Turabian Manual can be purchased at discount rate through AICU bookstore at www.adonaiuniversitybookstore.com or through the CBD affiliate bookstore at the main website at www.adonaiuniversity.net.  To search the bookstore through CBD, just place the name or ISBN number of textbook in the search box and click go.  AICU has adopted the Turabian Manual for the completion of course work, research, thesis and dissertation.  Students must obtain this manual the writing of course papers, research projects, theses, and dissertations.
 

NOTE: All course papers MUST be in the Turabian Format or will be returned for revision.  Course papers may be emailed to: grading@adonaiuniversity.net.  All designed study guide and final examination work may be submitted on a CD-Rom or floppy disk, or submitted as an email attachment.

Course Papers

As a student of AICU you understand that your work must be entirely your own.  In the even it is discovered that you have failed to submit your own work, but submitted the work of another person as your own, may lead to immediate termination.  In the event that you are terminated, you understand that all courses given will be counted as failures, any degree, diploma or credits granted will be revoked, and there will be no refund of tuition or other fees paid to AICU, and that there is no time limits to these penalties.
 

All course papers must be typed on a letter size paper (8.5" x 11"), or will be returned for revision.  AICU is not responsible for course papers lost in the mail.  Always make a copy of your course work if you’re submitting it to AICU by postal mail.  Note: Course papers submitted to AICU will not be returned.  To avoid the cost of mailing and the chance of being lost in the mail, we recommend students send course work by email to: grading@adonaiuniversity.net.

Course Design Structure

The PCD program is about the same structure as the PCS (Option I) program, except that the study guide and examination design replaces the essay assignments, and a shorter term paper is required.  The PCD program is only for advanced student capable of designing a course.  The purpose of designing a study guide and examination as a part of a degree requirement is so that they would be used in future educational programs of AICU.  All study guides and examinations designed as part of a degree program automatically become the property of AICU, and will be used in its future educational programs.
 

The following is the structure of the Program by Course Design (PCD) program.  Detail instructions for the program are found in the course syllabus.
