Dear Potential Student, Greetings in the Lord!!! Thank you for your interest in our school. For detailed information on our Distance Learning programs you can visit www.calvarychapelbiblecollege.com and click on Distance Learning. We offer two programs of study: School of Correspondence and School of Online Education. Calvary Chapel Bible College Distance Learning is a non-denominational, unaccredited, religiously exempt institution that offers a Bachelor s degree in Biblical Studies (B.B.S.) and an Associate s degree in Theology (A.Th.). In addition to our degree programs, a Certificate of Completion and an Audit program are offered. If you have difficulty obtaining the proof of education needed to enroll into either of the degree programs you may opt to enter into the Certificate of Completion Program. This program is identical to those that offer degrees in that the curriculum is the same. The only true difference is the certificate awarded at the end. Our mission is to train Christian men and women to handle and communicate the inerrant and infallible written Word of God, which leads to a life that reflects a personal commitment to Jesus Christ. It has always been our purpose to develop Christ-like character and a thorough academic and devotional understanding of the Bible as we focus on the verse-by-verse teaching of the whole counsel of God. This is accomplished by delivering college level curriculum in audio and video format. Offerings include courses in biblical studies, theology, history, Christian life, missions, and ministry. The School of Online Education program was developed in an effort to offer courses with increased flexibility and less expense to the student who prefers an electronic format. This program offers the flexibility of accessing your course lectures and materials anywhere in the world where high-speed internet is available. Please refer to our website for the official online school catalog, course offerings and the latest developments. You can also access our School of Correspondence catalog on this site. I pray this helps you as you seek to further your personal spiritual growth by learning the Word of God and drawing closer to Christ.
