The Program

The Degree Completion program is designed to educate students in an accelerated and accessible format so they may finish their college degrees. The program is intentionally centered upon the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word.

Degree Completion is built around dynamic and substantive core courses on the scriptures and theology. The student has the opportunity to study the entire Christian Bible in a rigorous academic setting with instructors committed to a conservative evangelical outlook. The biblical studies courses are complemented by a series of courses on Christian theology. The theology courses provide instruction on all of the great doctrines of Christianity. The student learns to navigate many theological challenges.

The core biblical and theological studies provide a basis for serving Christ, even while the program’s minors and tracks provide the next steps in career and/or educational opportunities. Students may select one of five minors or tracks. The minor and track courses have been selected and designed to help students prepare for employment opportunities and/or the academic requirements to apply for graduate studies in these fields of study. The minors and tracks are in business, Christian ministry, education, counseling, and social work.

Objectives

The student will:

1. Explain the scriptures and Christian theology.
2. Develop communication skills in reading, writing, and projects.
3. Demonstrate evidence of godly character through Christian service.
4. Demonstrate the knowledge and skill of an academic minor.
