Affiliations of the Graduate Theological Foundation (GTF)
This is a partial listing of affiliated institutions through which students can complete coursework toward their degree at the Foundation. Students can complete courses through institutions other than those listed below by submitting a request in writing for review and approval.
Recognized and Endorsed Institutions
Requirements for Units of Study may be fulfilled at any accredited or ecclesiastically approved graduate or theological school or any professional-level training institution, program or workshop. In addition, to facilitate the identification of, and registration in, courses for the fulfillment of Units of Study taken at the student’s chosen institutional site, formal contacts are maintained with select institutions to which “Recognized and Endorsed,” classification has been granted by the Foundation. To date, the following list represents those institutions which the Foundation has chosen to designate as “Recognized and Endorsed,” a designation to which these institutions have agreed. As the Foundation continues to broaden its scope of educational experiences provided to students, new institutions are regularly added.

The P.R.I.M.E. Affiliation
Partnering Resources in Ministry Education
This special type of affiliation allows students to earn their degree from the Foundation by completing all required coursework through a P.R.I.M.E. affiliate. Institutions designated as P.R.I.M.E. provide specializations in specific graduate degree programs such as the Doctor of Ministry, Doctor of Psychology and others. At P.R.I.M.E. institutions, Foundation students may complete all of their Units of Study and fulfill all residency requirements for their graduate degree programs. The following institutions and organizations have been invited to participate in the Foundation’s P.R.I.M.E. program. They have been selected on the strength of their educational programs and quality of training faculty. To this distinguished roster of P.R.I.M.E. institutions, other institutions and programs are periodically added based on the Foundation’s ongoing assessment of educational training opportunities relevant to our students. The attractiveness of the P.R.I.M.E. affiliation is two-fold, viz., students may do all of their residency and degree requirements at any one of the P.R.I.M.E. affiliated institutions. Those institutions have the advantage, by virtue of their affiliation with the Foundation, of offering their training for the Foundation’s degree programs in their own facilities.
