    Curriculum
      Courses are presented in six divisions of study. Old Testament, New Testament, Biblical Theology, Practical Theology, Historical Theology and Christian Counseling. It is required that courses from all six divisions be represented in a student’s Graduate Diploma of Theology. Courses are usually offered at the rate of one per month at a local learning center.

    Class Schedule
      Instructors conduct live or video courses in our local learning centers. All courses are taught in ten academic hour intensive classes. Class sessions generally meet three consecutive days per month such as Thursday 6-9pm, Friday 6-9pm and Saturday 9-1pm. However, the senior pastor/director chooses the specific schedule at a local center.

      When ten courses, each worth three credit units, are offered per year at a local learning center, a student can earn thirty credit units, which is in line with credit received at traditional colleges for a year of study.
