It is currently a corresponding institution with <br />the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, Fleming said. <br />Before officially applying for accreditation, the university must have one year of consistent degree activity with a student <br />population and a completed independent financial audit, Fleming said. <br />Because the first group of students is attending a university that does not have its accreditation, Woodson is offering <br />affordable tuition, Fleming said. Currently, a 120- credit hour bachelor s degree will cost a total of $2,100; a 48 -credit hour <br />master s degree wig cost $4,350 total; and a 60 -credit hour doctorate will cost a total of $6,500. <br />Even though the costs may change, the university wants to offer education that is affordable, accessible and accelerated. <br />The university also hopes to meet the needs of this community. <br />We want to be a large member of the coninitmity, be helpful and make our home better," Fleming said. Being a part of the <br />historic downtown fabric is a uniqueness our university has." <br />Woodson University also hopes to provide its students with 21 st- Century education through its online courses and plans to <br />use other technology in classes. <br />Maurice Harden, provost and vice president for academic affairs for the university, said Woodson wants to embrace what it <br />means to live in the 21 st century and provide new opportunities for individuals in the area of Christian leadership. <br />I m most excited about this new opportunity to embrace our community and to empower our community," Harden said. <br />I in excited about what this opportunity presents for higher education." <br />For more information about Woodson University, visit www.woodsonu.us. <br />Contact reporter Jessica Groover: 704- 789 -9152 <br />Independent Tribune 0 Copyright 2011 Media General Communications Holdings, ll.C.
