BACHELOR'S
DEGREE
The
dream of earning your bachelor's degree has really
never left you. Perhaps like many older
Christians, you entered college with every intention
of graduating, but something happened along the way.
You may have simply run out of money or opportunity,
but the dream is still there. Now the dream can
be more than a memory, it can be a reality!
You can take the college credits you earned in the
past, and use them to reduce the number of credits
required to earn your degree! Here's
how...generally, most credits will transfer if they
were earned from an acceptable school at not less than
a grade of "C" (even if they were not earned in a
Bible discipline.
There's more good news...the length of time since the
credits were earned is usually not an issue.
Isn't it time to return to the dream, and at the same
time, earn your degree in the only subject that will
really matter in eternity?
Once you have looked over the programs below, start
with requesting a free and personalized
evaluation.
There are no hooks, no gimmicks, no obligation...just
the right place to start if you sense the blessings of
God to do so. |
