What is the Fellows Program?
The Fellows Program provides you with a biblical and theological foundation during your time at UNC. Fellows is modeled loosely after the core curriculum at a Christian college or university. The program offers classes in scripture and theology designed to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and community necessary to deepen your faith and connect it to all of life. Fellows is also a great way to meet Christian students from across a broad range of churches and campus ministries. The three pillars of the Fellows Program are:
Fellows meet every other Tuesday evening during the fall and spring semesters. There is a time of interactive teaching, group discussion, and conversation over meals. There are also retreats, occasional social gatherings, and unique opportunities to interact with Study Center speakers and visiting faculty.
