Important Announcement Regarding
Patten/Church of God Division of Education Collaboration
Patten University has celebrated its partnership with the Church of God Division of Education for over 10 years. As with all partnerships, there is constant evaluation to determine strategic direction and focus to ensure relevance. At this time, with much prayer and discussion between both Patten University and the Division of Education, the decision has been made to dissolve the current collaboration agreement with regard to the Patten Internet Degree Program (IDP).
The IDP will remain intact as an online program of Patten University and any student currently enrolled will be ensured that their program of study will not be interrupted. Further, Patten remains an affiliate school of the Church of God, and will continue to provide online educational opportunities to Church of God ministers and leaders through the Patten Internet Degree Program. Patten is grateful for the longstanding relationship with the Church of God and looks forward to expanding to meet the educational needs of the Church.
