Earn Academic Credit

College credit for leading or joining a Christian Expedition

Through our partnership with Calvary Chapel University, group leaders and travelers can earn academic credit for a Christian Expedition trip, with a short course built around what they see.

Ways to earn credit

Three ways to earn credit

Calvary Chapel University is a fully accredited online Christian university. You can earn credit through any of these, whether or not you are a current student.

Lead a trip.

Lead an expedition with your church or ministry, and enroll in the matching Calvary Chapel University course.

Travel on a trip.

Join a trip your church is hosting, or another Christian Expedition trip that is open to the public, and enroll in the matching course.

Join the university’s own trip.

Calvary Chapel University runs its own trip each year to a place of importance to biblical or church history.
