Academic Programs
Among Bible
schools with Charismatic emphasis, Elim has an international reputation
for excellence. Elim is covered with the New York State Board of
Regents under code BR52.22(b), and most of our programs are approved by
the New York State Bureau of Veterans Education (BVE) for the training
of veterans and other eligible persons.
Elim is a
non-degree granting institution. However, our long tradition of high
academic standards continues to make it possible for our students to
transfer most of their course units to Christian colleges, selected
public colleges, and private universities. A list of schools that have
accepted Elim units into their programs can be obtained from the
Admissions Office.
Elim has a unique relationship with several schools of higher learning, including Beacon University, NYACK College, Roberts Wesleyan, and Northeastern Seminary.
Within weeks of their arrival, students join local ministry outreach teams. Student Ministries
oversee more than 40 teams serving churches, colleges, correctional
facilities, shelters, hospitals, developmental centers, and nursing
homes weekly. Students are also encouraged to participate in teams of
dance, drama, music, and leadership.
All full-time
Elim students join one of several Missionary Prayer Teams. Meeting
regularly, these groups learn and talk about various geographic areas
and cultures and actively seek the Lord on their behalf.
Each fall, Elim
conducts its Missions Conference, hosting special speakers and
missionaries from around the world. Missionary Prayer Teams prepare skits, mime,
songs, slide shows and video to share their hearts with the student
body, staff, and conference guests.
We believe
serious ministry begins the moment a student enrolls in Elim's training
program. Some students have ministry plans of their own following the
completion of their program at Elim, while others consult the placement
board posted outside the Deans office in the Student Lounge.
To
be classified as a freshman, a student must meet entrance requirements.
A junior has earned at least 30 units of study; a senior, at least 60
units.

Undeclared Student
One who carries a full-time academic load but is not seeking to
meet the requirements for graduation. Undeclared student status may be
granted by the Admissions committee when it is requested during the
admissions procedure, but only in special qualifying circumstances.
Part-time Student
Carries less than 12 units (18.7 or less clock hours) in a semester.
Audit Student
One who registers for a course on a non-unit basis. This student
attends classes, but is not required to complete assignments or take
exams. Classes are charged at half the tuition rate. Audit students are
required to pay fees on a pro rata basis.
