Asbury Cluster Education
Asbury Cluster Education (ACE) VLI is offered through a partnership between Asbury Theological Seminary and the Columbus, Ohio Vineyard Leadership Institute campus, 6000 Cooper Rd., Westerville, Ohio.
While ACE VLI courses can be applied to the majority of Asbury Seminary master degrees, the schedule best serves the following degrees:
- Master of Divinity
- Master of Arts in Christian Leadership
- Master of Arts in Christian Ministries
- Master of Arts in Pastoral Counseling
- Master of Arts in Youth Ministry
Prospective students can review an ACE VLI course offering/degree requirement comparison using the ACE Course Cycle.
Students can complete 10 courses in two years attending Thursday evening throughout Saturday afternoon classes at Vineyard Columbus through the Asbury Cluster Education (ACE) program. A new initiative, ACE provides a cohort model enabling students to learn together through classes and formational experiences each semester over the course of a two-year period.
Students, by following a prescribed ACE plan, will be able to earn 30 hours toward a Master of Divinity or selected Master of Arts degrees. Courses may also be applied toward the 12 certificates.
Accreditation requires one half of M.A. and one third of M.Div. course work must be "in residence." Specific courses can be taken in weekend, intensive or semester formats on the Kentucky or Florida campuses to fulfill residency requirements. The final third of an M.Div. can be earned online. Accreditation allows for certificates to be completed entirely online.
ACE sites will be a micro-expression of the Asbury community: academically-challenging and Christ-focused. Space will be created for nurturing powerful community. Students, faculty and staff will gather for chapel each weekend of classes.
