UPGRADE YOUR WORLD!
Recession-proof your education with an Interest-Free Student Loan
raising their tuition rates to pay the expenses of their own growing costs of operation
SUMMARY: Saint James College has a well-honored mission of providing world-class education at what may be among the lowest tuition rates in the entire collegiate community.
However, inflation and job lay-offs are causing thousand upon thousands of prospective college students to be unable to attend classes and advance themselves academically.
Saint James College's board of directors has voted to maintain its ground-breaking policy that offers payment of tuition with student loans that are completely interest-free.
HOW IT WORKS:
Saint James offers college scholarships to worthy students in addition to its charter-required low tuition costs and interest-free student loans -- tuition loans at 0% interest. Contact us to discuss student financial aid options for our online Adult Learner Fast-Track degree programs. Whether you're exploring affordable federal student loans or Stafford student loans, we'll explain our student loan interest rates, and low tuition fees.
If you are among the thousands of would-be college students who are seeking inexpensive student loans, please contact Saint James College.
As many as 99% of non-traditional education students surveyed by a government-sponsored study said that they feel their degree meets or exceeds a traditional degree.
The study showed that roughly one-fifth of those who were awarded a non-traditional under-graduate degree went on to obtain a masters or doctorate. 97% of the non-traditional undergrads were accepted by the grad school that they preferred. Three percent reported some difficulties in presenting a non-accredited degree or transcripts from a non-accredited college, or for having obtained real-life experience credits. The bottom line is that the study showed that a full 94 percent reported no difficulty in being admitted to graduate school due to having an unaccredited degree or earning it through non-traditional or online education.

The second caveat is that Saint James College degrees must have a "spiritual flavor" to them. Due to being owned by a chartered religious denomination, the government requires that our degrees be awarded with a relationship to a church or spiritual competency. You may sign your name with your credentials, such as Kathy Smith, M.S.W., or Larry Jones, M.S.W., but the government requires that your actual Saint James College diploma must say "Masters of Social Work in Spiritual Counseling" or, perhaps, "Masters of Social Work Parish Family Counseling." Because our degrees were designed at the outset to assist priests, ministers, and spiritual workers to increase their competencies and advance their careers, this has been consistent with our mission. It also enables us to offer Masters and other degrees for as much as 95% below the "market" cost in traditional education. Nonetheless, this requirement may not be acceptable to all students. Consider all higher educational degree programs carefully and choose one that matches both your budget and also your professional needs.

are academically sound, our faculty and instructors are highly-competent and helpful, and we strive to offer among the lowest tuition rates in North America. As a matter of policy, we are not yet regionally accredited. This is less and less important in today’s job market where employers are hungry for qualified employees and have fewer concerns about regional accreditation than in the past. Our degrees are not regionally accredited by an agency accepted by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, but they are real degrees, legitimate, and awarded by a college that is sponsored by a fully-chartered parent, The Love Church Worldwide inter-faith denomination.
