The Diploma program is intended for students who do not plan to pursue a degree but desire a deeper understanding of the Bible. Each Diploma program requires a completion of 40 credit hours each.
The diploma program is tailored for Bible students, youth leaders, lay leaders, and various Christian workers, making it especially advantageous for those starting in Gospel ministry. Furthermore, seasoned ministers can enroll as a refresher course. This program also acts as an important prerequisite for Christian ordination.
Students who complete three certificate programs may also be eligible to receive a diploma. The person receiving a diploma can transfer their diploma credit hours to the Associate or Bachelor Degree programs.
