Programs of Study

Bachelor of Biblical Studies (Four Year Program)

For the most thorough grounding in Biblical Studies, combined with practical training in the several areas of Christian ministry, a candidate for this degree must successfully complete a minimum of 128 semester hours (1600 clock hours). Graduates may enter directly into professional Christian service.
|
|
Associate of Biblical Studies (Two Year Program)
|
This program, requiring successful completion of a minimum of 64 semester hours (800 clock hours) includes the more essential elements of the four year program, to Biblically equip the person who is choosing to follow a career path in another discipline. It also is the program leading to the Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree for candidates who transfer to Florida Bible College with sufficient acceptable hours earned elsewhere.
|
|
"Foundations" Certificate of Biblical Studies (One Year Program)
|
For the student who wants a foundation in Biblical studies and the basics of ministry preparation, this 32 semester hour (400 clock hours) program may be completed in two semesters (one year).
|
|
"Elements of Biblical Studies" Evening School Certificate (Two Year Program)
|
This certificate is award to students who successfully complete 8 semester hours* for credit in the Florida Bible College evening institute. Evening institute courses are patterned after the day school courses, but are either one- or two- semester hours* each. (Classes meet for two fifty-minute periods one day each week for a fifteen week semester.) Note: evening school credits count as elective credits toward day school program graduation requirements, but a evening school one- or two- semester hour* version of a required three semester hour* day school course is not an acceptable substitute for the more thorough day school course.
