This study seeks to understand how a nontraditional theological Seminary operating in Kitale, Kenya can measure its worth and success in relationship to the students it seeks to educate. Approaching the study from the perspective that an institutions value must be determined by those receiving its services, the researcher used the Academic Institution-Building Model to engage the Seminary's students in an evaluation of the Seminary. The Academic Institution-Building Model examines nine essential areas necessary for the development of any institution operating in a cross-cultural setting. Four areas, called linkages, deal with the relationship of the Seminary with other institutions. Five areas deal with the internal workings of the Seminary. The Model then examines the relationship between the internal variables and the external linkages in order to reach a Management Efficiency Index. This index is used as a measure of the Seminary's success in meeting the needs and expectations of the students.
