After much consideration, Imani Christian Theological Institute will no longer attempt to offer degrees. Instead, Imani will work through established Christian Colleges and Universities, offering distant learning degree opportunities. Students that attend Imani Christian Theological Institute will be classified in one of three tracts, certification, advance certification or professional. The Programs offered through Imani are, Christian Education, Church Administration, Christian Counseling, Urban Missions, and Chaplaincy. All students in the certification tract will be expected to attend required classes and complete projects. Advance certification students will be required to complete required classes, a field placement and an oral presentation. Professional students will be required to complete a group project entitled "Called Beyond Our Walls", document three years experience in their chosen tract, and teach at least two classes to certification/advance certification students.

The certification tract will take a full time student about thirty months to complete. The advance tract is an eighteen-month program for a full time student. All Professional tract students should complete their program in thirty-six months.

Students that wish to attend Imani Christian Theological Institute and receive a degree will have to have dual enrollments. We will work with your college or university to have all of your work completed at Imani, transferred to meet your graduation requirements. You will receive certification through Imani. Your degree will be awarded by the institute of your choice. The staff at Imani will do all we can to assist you in completing your degree program. Our purpose is to develop Christian Leaders.

Imani Christian Theological Institute is nondenominational. Imani will have professional memberships with national and regional Christian organizations, which will benefit our students. Imani dose not follow the doctrine of any organization. Imani is a teaching and training leadership organization that has its own Board of Directors, Mission Statement, and philosophy. We use the Christian Bible as the foundation of everything we do. We do not seek accreditation from any organization, no matter how established it is. Our institution will provide Instructors that have degrees from accredited institutions, and who have proven leadership in Christian discipleship. Imani will have independent Christian leaders provide a review of the institution and its programs once every three years. The findings of this review will be available to the general public.

Imani will, first and foremost, prepare Christian leaders to work in the Church and community as Spiritual Guides, carrying forth the work and teachings of Jesus Christ.
