DIPLOMA PROGRAM
Diploma in Christian Studies
(Dip.C.S.)
A 30
unit core is required.
The
Diploma in Christian Studies is the ideal
place for either the adult learner who has no college
background, or the individual who simply wants to
broaden his or her ministry education. Graduates of the
Diploma in Christian Studies program are
ideally situated to continue study at the Associate
level. This is a complete Diploma program with a
curriculum of 30 units.
ASSOCIATE DEGREE
Associate in Ministry
(A.Min.)
A 30
unit minimum core is required
to complete this 60 unit degree.
The
A.Min.
program has been specifically
designed for the older student who has little if any
college experience. The A.Min. is primarily a degree completion program
with a core curriculum of 30 units. You may
receive up to 30 more units of credit for work that
you have already completed, which makes it possible to
earn this 60 unit degree by taking the 30 unit core
only. Your previously earned credits may come
from a combination of college-level, technical school,
military training, or
Advanced Standing Placement.
Of course, you may also make up some (or all) of the
30 non-core credits by taking one or more elective
courses.
An experienced Admissions
Advisor will help you put
together a combination of your previous education,
relevant adult learning experiences, or necessary
elective courses that will qualify you to earn your
Associate in Ministry degree.
GOOD
NEWS! We do not charge
full tuition for the recognition of
life-experience credits. Since some schools do
charge full tuition for the granting of
life-experience credit, (up to 50% of the cost of
tuition in some cases), the MISD policy may result in
a substantial savings for older and more experienced
students.

BACHELOR'S DEGREE
Bachelor of Arts in Christian
Studies
(B.A.C.S.)
With Concentrations
A 30
unit minimum core is required
to complete this 120 unit degree.
The
B.A.C.S. degree is perfect for those
individuals who have completed a substantial number of
college credits, but have not been able to actually
complete a bachelor level degree. The degree is
offered across several concentrations. Practically
speaking, this is a degree completion program with a
core curriculum of 30 units. You may receive up to
90
more units of credit for work that you have already
completed, which makes it possible to earn this 120
unit degree by taking the 30 unit core only. Your
previously earned credits may come from a combination
of college-level,
technical school, military training, or
Advanced Standing Placement
(60 of these credits must come from college-level
courses, and include 30 credits from general education
courses such as English, history, etc.)*. Of
course, you may also make up some (or all) of the 90
non-core credits by taking one or more elective or
general education courses. In some cases, it may
be possible to "test out" of some of the general
education courses.
An experienced Admissions
Advisor will help you put
together a combination of your previous education,
relevant adult learning experiences, necessary
elective or general education courses that will
qualify you to earn your
Bachelor of Arts in Christian Studies
degree.
* General
Education courses are provided to MISD students through
an Institutional Partnership with
Columbia Southern University.
