DOCTORATE DEGREES
The highest level of academic achievement is generally
considered to be the doctoral degree. However,
"According to the US Census 2000, 2% of the population have
Professional Degrees (MD, DDS, DVM, JD etc) and 1% have
research based doctoral degrees (PhD, EdD etc)"
.1
In Christian ministry, the earning of the doctorate degree
allows an individual the freedom to study in his or her area
of concentration at the highest level. For most, it is
not about the title,
rather
it is about the subject studied and knowledge refined.
Perhaps one of the reasons why so few go on to earn a
doctorate is the cost and time away from home. This is
NOT THE CASE with Master's. The tuition for our
doctorate programs is far less than most colleges charge for
bachelor's tuition. More good news...to help manage even
our low tuition, we have ministry grants, zero interest
tuition payment plans with reasonable monthly payment options.
If you hold an appropriate master's degree from an acceptable
institution, the two most common barriers have been
eliminated...cost and time away from home. Remember, you
can earn a doctorate at Master's from the comfort and
convenience of home! What to do now? 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.
