Central Territory - USA

Indiana Wesleyan University and The Salvation Army Central Territory USA are partnering to provide officers, employees, soldiers, and college-bound students associated with The Salvation Army academic and skill-building credential opportunities through IWU’s Bridge Initiative. As there are many options in completing education, IWU is offering focused courses, certificates, and programs of study specifically for officers to more fully take advantage of their previous TSA course work. The opportunities are designed to award credit (towards a degree) for College for Officer Training (CFOT) coursework as well as leverage the academic strengths of Indiana Wesleyan to provide professional development that is practical and accredited. Designed to provide the skills and knowledge needed to operate effectively in our changing communities, officers will be able to take advantage of IWU’s academically and professionally prepared Christian faculty to meet SACEP requirements, complete mission-critical certificates, or full degree programs.

Educational Offerings

IWU partners with the Salvation Army's Continuing Education Program (SACEP) to provide continuing education and degree completion programs, which map Salvation Army learning experiences into IWU degrees.

SACEP coursework allow officers to meet their professional development requirements during their first few years of active ministry and service.

Beyond SACEP, degree completion and certificate programs allow officers to pursue ministry appropriate training. The certificate programs require a simple pdf file application while the degree programs require a more complete online application to be completed. Links for both options can be found below.
