Without any course work whatsoever!
Your life work experience and credits will determine your degree that will be offered to you. These schools of higher education appropriately grant “Advanced Standing” upon satisfactory evaluation of a student’s previous study and life work learning.
Grace Biblical College is happy to do the same in order that you may join many others across the nation in attaining your degree goals in record time and save a lot of money. This widespread practice is based upon the simple premise that a person should get credit for what they already know.
Learning doesn’t take place just in a cubicle or only from courses. One can acquire great spiritual insights without ever setting foot on a college campus. In fact, most of what you know came to you outside a formal classroom setting. The whole world is your university, and everything you see, hear, or do can be an education experience.
Jesus showed that all life is a seminary and the Holy Spirit is our Instructor. The best learned lessons are intertwined in our daily walk with the Lord. Granting credit for life work is founded upon the old proverb, “Experience is the best teacher”. You can learn more about preaching, than from sitting around with an outdated text on homiletics. The idea of on the job training use to be called apprenticeship.
Therefore, our approach to higher education is that if you have acquired Biblical knowledge and ministerial skills, you’re entitled to receive credit for it. It’s not necessary to retrace foundational doctrinal teaching, which you already know. If you qualify for advance status, you can skip one, two, or even three levels of our courses.
When you receive a degree for your past studies and life work, it is not considered an HONORARY degree but an EARNED degree.
