Description |
The Associate of Arts degree is a two-year program designed for students who desire a Bible college background before pursuing further education. The A.A. degree has definite limitations and restrictions, in that it is not a terminal but a pre-professional program designed to prepare students spiritually and intellectually for further education or for service in the local church.
The graduate of the Associate of Arts degree is required to complete 30 hours of Bible and Theology, 21 hours of general education, and 3 hours of evangelism. An additional 11 hours of electives must be completed. |
