FRESHMAN YEAR
The Associate of Biblical Education Program is designed for students who want to prepare for a more effective non-vocational ministry, prepare for additional study in a college or university, or serve as a Christian witness in the secular work place. After obtaining a solid foundation with 64 hours (or 960 clock hours) of Bible, theology, world view, and practical ministry, they can transfer to a college that will adequately prepare them for the secular vocation they wish to pursue. Those who elect to continue to a 4-year program may transfer all 64 hours to the Baccalaureate Program. |
