Bachelor of Science in Bible - On Campus

The LEAD program allows students to complete a Bachelor of Science in Bible with a specialization in Counseling, Christian Ministry, Non-Profit Management, or Organizational Leadership (Specializations are offered on-line only). Students may also choose to forego the additional specialization and simply complete the B.S. in Bible. Students attend class on the Florida Christian College campus one night a week, and complete one course at a time. Each course in this program is on a five-week cycle and offers students the opportunity to engage each other and the facilitating professor in dynamic ways.

The B.S. in Bible is the core of the LEAD degree program and is designed to equip students with biblical knowledge and understanding, interpretation skills, and strong character. Students receiving this degree will be prepared for graduate studies in the area of theology and biblical studies, and service in the local church.

There are four Specializations that can be added to the Bachelor of Science in Bible core. Specializations are concentrations, or academic emphases that may be added to the Bachelor of Science in Bible core. They may be taken in conjunction with either the LEAD or LEADon program. Each specialization is 18 credits. Specializations are offered online only. The four specializations are listed below:

• Christian Ministry Specialization
• Counseling Specialization
• Non-Profit management Specialization
• Organizational Leadership Specialization
