       DEGREES OFFERED

 

NOTES:
   These are approximate time frames.
Depending on the number of courses a student takes in
1 year the time frame will increase or decrease accordingly.

All transfer of credits from previous educational institutions
require a transcript be sent to us directly from the
College or Institute. 

  • Certificate of Biblical Studies, 1 year (32 credit hours).
    This is not a degree.  It is a certificate and, thus, you do not need a High School diploma or a GED in order to earn it.

    All degrees from Associate through Doctor level require a High School diploma or a GED as a prerequisite.
    For those countries that do not call it "High School," it is a minimum 12 year certificate 

  • Associate of Christian Ministries, 2 years (64 credit hours).
  • Degree of Christian Ministries or Theology, 3 years (96 credit hours).
  • Bachelor of Christian Ministries or Theology, 3-4 years (128 credit hours).
  • Master of Christian Ministries or Theology, 4+ years (160 credit hours).
  • Doctor of Christian Ministries, Theology, or Divinity, 5-6 years (192 credit hours).

 

    MINORS:

  • Listed Minors - We offer minors in Christian Education, Christian Literature, and Counseling.  In contrast to the free courses that utilize public domain textbooks or textbooks for which permission from the author has been obtained for their free use by our students, some of these minors require studies utilizing textbooks that are not in the public domain or ones for which the authors have not granted permission for their free use by our students.  Therefore, there probably will be a textbook cost associated with those courses.

  • Unlisted Minors - If a student has a desire to have a minor in a field not listed, it may be possible to earn that minor if the student has enough transfer credits in that particular field from an approved educational institution.  Please check with us to discuss details concerning any particular minor not in the regular list.

 

    MASTERS and DOCTORATE PROGRAMS:

  • The comprehensive Masters and Doctorate programs are being prepared and will be online by the time our current students reach those levels in 2 years (2011).

  • Students with enough accepted transfer credits can work on and earn their Masters and Doctorate degrees through those portions of the programs already in place.  Along with their transfer credits, all students will have to earn a minimum of 32 credits through SLBC and propose, compose, submit, and have accepted, a thesis of appropriate size and caliber.  Contact us with your specific needs and goals and we will try our best to work with you to help you attain your desired degree.
