Learning with
Journey
Journey is a dynamic learning experience, offering students the opportunity to participate in an engaging community that supports a strong bond between their peers, and with their teachers.
Journey is an entirely new way to learn.
How Classes Work
Journey classes are unique, combining a strong interactive community with in-person meetings that reinforce connections and partnerships with other students.
Hybrid Classes
A hybrid class combines online and on-campus learning. Each Journey class includes 8 hours of on-campus learning over a 1-2 day period during Gathering Days in Denver, Colorado.
Student Focus
All students have the opportunity to be seen and heard through a connected learning structure. This allows them to express ideas and thoughts with genuine interaction between their peers and teachers. Everyone is important in their participation.
Full- or Part-Time Availability
The flexibility of Journey provides students with the option of choosing what works best with their schedule. Whether full- or part-time, a balance can be found for anyone.
“I can be flexible and have schooling happen around the rest of my work.”

Gathering Days
Held in Denver, Colorado, Gathering Days allows students to travel to the Iliff School of Theology campus and attend classes with their peers. Friendships that begin within the unique Journey network are strengthened through Gathering Days, an experience that makes their bond with one another even more powerful.
How often do I travel to Denver?
Gathering Days occur 3 times a year, for 2–5 days each quarter.
When do these in-person classes occur?
Gathering Days occur during the 5th week of each quarter (in October, February, and April.)
What happens during Gathering Days?
Students enrolled in Hybrid courses attend in-person classes on campus with other Journey community members. Friendships are further strengthened through group academic study, shared meals, social events, guest speakers, prayer, and worship.
“Faculty and staff here have a good ear…They are authentic and remind me to be authentic. They ask me questions that I didn’t even think about.”
Mina Nau, alum
Pastor at John Collins UMC
Connection with Professors
Limited class sizes allows faculty the ability to focus their energy on the needs of each student. Journey supports teachers in connecting with students on a profound level, with utmost care and communication to fully invest in their success.
Ongoing Learning
Journey students gain real world experience that is applicable to a future career. The Journey platform is easy to use and welcoming to any skill level.
