Episode 162 | The Church & Higher Ed, Part 3: The Cohort Model

Mar 13, 2024    Autumn Gardner, Dave Morlan, Michael Morgan

Institutions of Christian higher education are responding in various ways to the cultural and technological pressures of our day. The William Tennent School of Theology, based in Colorado, utilizes a retreat plus cohort model to provide theological training that is “academically rigorous and theologically robust, while also stoking affection(s) for Jesus.”


Dave and Autumn speak with Dr. Michael Morgan, Academic Dean and Professor of Historical Theology at Tennent, to ask what constitutes a formational educational experience and why Tennent has chosen the retreat plus cohort modality.
