FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here Are A Few Of The Most Common Questions We Get About Our Accredited Programs:

  • Is CoA affordable?

    Your current tuition rate is $295 per credit hour. Approximately two-thirds of our students receive CoA’s need-based financial aid, significantly reducing attendance costs. Monthly payment plans are also available for those who qualify. Best of all, you will graduate debt-free! You can find more information about our tuition and scholarships here: https://collegeofathens.edu/tuition-financial-aid/.  

  • How are CoA’s online programs different from other colleges?

    Because building strong and healthy relationships is as important part of what you learn, CoA has created a “Cohort Model” for its online programs where students will travel together through their studies under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Many classes are offered by videoconference.  Others are offered through a highly-interactive online format where students still collaborate with their Cohort members as they progress through their program. 

  • Can I move to Athens, GA, to earn this degree?

    Situated in a college town, Athens, Georgia has plenty of apartment housing in the vicinity for students.  CoA is in the process of adding student housing to its 114-acre campus property, including cabins near its two lakes.  However, on-campus residency is not yet available at CoA.

  • What sets CoA apart from other colleges?

    CoA has many distinctives.  First, you will graduate knowing who you are in Christ, not just knowing a lot of information.  Second, experiential learning is woven into every course and every degree.  You will apply what you are learning to the real world in every single class.  And your capstone apprenticeship will help develop the skills you need for a successful career after graduation.  Whether you learn online or in person, CoA’s programs build leaders who are ready to practically confront the challenges of today and tomorrow because they graduate both spiritually formed and experientially trained. 


  • Is CoA affiliated with a certain denomination?

    CoA currently offers 9 majors at the undergraduate and graduate levels: Biblical Studies, Business Administration, Care & Counseling, Christian Education, Christian Studies, Generational Ministry, Intercultural Studies, Music & Worship Arts, and Transformational Leadership. CoA programs are offered online or in-person. You can find our majors and degree programs listed here: https://collegeofathens.edu/degree-programs/ 

  • Does CoA offer any study abroad opportunities?

    Through an engaging partnership with Adventures in Missions, CoA students can earn credits towards their degree program through 3-month, 9-month, and 11-month study abroad experiences. You will spend time on the mission field serving God while receiving college credit simultaneously! You can find more information about these opportunities here: https://collegeofathens.edu/aim/
