Crossroads is open to high school and college students. Both can earn three fully accredited, transferable college credits.

Students will stay on campus and enjoy the benefits of learning and close fellowship with professors and other students. They will participate in a variety of activities, including movie nights, discipleship groups, and a field trip to New York City.

The course offered at Crossroads is Ethics in Western Civilization. The interactive exploration of the Bible and other texts will help students better understand the Christian worldview as it relates to ethics and confront some of history's noted alternatives.
