Master's International School of Divinity Time Required to Earn Your Degree

How Long Will it Take to Earn My Degree?

Our program is especially designed for mature persons already involved in the business of everyday life! Our programs permits you to study in the privacy of your own home or office any time day or night without the constraints of semester dates and inconvenient class schedules designed for full-time students rather than working adults.

If you are like most students, you will probably enroll for your entire degree program. However, you will work on only one course at a time. Most 3 credit courses can be completed in 6 - 10 weeks, and you can manage your study time any way that is best for your schedule.

Of course, each person is different, and possessing differing study habits and abilities. That's why one of the best things about our system is that you can work as fast as you wish, or take the time you need. No longer will you be caught in the slow lane waiting to complete a class that you could have finished much earlier. On the other hand, you will be free from the fear of dropping out of a class because of unavoidable circumstances, or being forced to finish before you have really absorbed the information.

The bottom line is: "YOU CAN DO IT!" Want proof? Take a look at our Alumni Links. It's only a relatively small listing of actual students and graduates. These are individuals just like you. If they can do it, you can do it!

Registration period note: The initial Registration period is for five years. Nearly all students are able to complete their program much sooner. However, if the student has not completed the program at the end of the initial Registration period, a careful program evaluation will be conducted to determine the most suitable program completion plan based upon requirements current at that time. This policy assures the student that unforeseen circumstances need not prevent him or her from graduating.

"See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
redeeming the time, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:15,16)

TIME FACTS

Television Statistics - According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches more than 4 hours of TV each day (or 28 hours/week, or 2 months of nonstop TV-watching per year). In a 65-year life, that person will have spent 9 years glued to the tube.

Consider these additional related statistics:
Percentage of households that possess at least one television: 99
Number of TV sets in the average U.S. household: 2.24
Percentage of U.S. homes with three or more TV sets: 66
Number of hours per day that TV is on in an average U.S. home: 6 hours, 47 minutes
Percentage of Americans that regularly watch television while eating dinner: 66
Number of hours of TV watched annually by Americans: 250 billion
Value of that time assuming an average wage of S5/hour: S1.25 trillion

Now consider these facts:
Average number of hours watching television in three years: 4,380
Average number of hours to complete an MISD degree in three years (less than 2 hr. per day): 2,106
