Bachelor of Science in Bible - Online

The LEADon program is for students living a significant distance from the college or who simply desire a greater amount of flexibility. LEADon is the on-line equivalent of the LEAD ON-Campus Bachelor program, and the two offer identical course loads. In the LEADon program, however, the courses are designed so that you take three courses per semester in sixteen weeks (four courses if you are pursuing a specialization).  Two courses would be taken simultaneously during the first 8 weeks of each semester and one or two during the last 8 weeks depending on whether you are getting a specialization or not.

The B.S. in Bible Online program is identical to the On-Campus program in content and allows students to complete their degree in the comfort of their home, with the benefits of maximum flexibility and convenience..

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 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
