Diploma of Biblical Studies

Description

Many individuals would like the advantage of a basic Bible College education but do not feel called to professional Christian service. This two-year program facilitates the development of their spiritual lives and the evaluation of life in terms of the Lordship of Christ. It allows a student to focus on biblical and theological studies as well as take courses in the other areas of the college curriculum.

All the credits earned in the diploma may be applied to the degree programs offered by the college. Students should be aware that specific course requirements differ between programs and so not all credits earned in the diploma may be applicable to a specific degree.
