Course Requirements

Based on observed successes from other institutions, KYMY has adopted the following minimum standards for our reading and writing requirements. Students may read and write more than these minimums. However, all written work, regardless of length, must be excellent in content, logic, writing, grammar, and academic style. All page counts exclude title page, table of contents, bibliography, and any appendices.

Students that struggle in this area or with no demonstrable prior academic writing experience will be required to take Theological Research & Writing, which will not be counted towards the minimum credits required for their degree (but for which they will receive credit).

Converting Audio & Video Lectures into Reading Requirements 
Given the proliferation of audiobooks, podcasts, MP3s, and forms of video lecture content, many students gather a significant portion of information from these sources. Provided that the material is of high academic quality, students may substitute the time spent consuming these media for page requirements using the conversion table below.
