Degrees & programs
The Program Objective is to provide the student with a wide-ranging balance of biblical education drawing from New Testament Studies, Old Testament Studies, Biblical Theology, Practical Ministry, and Hermeneutics. NCBC offers four educational paths: MA, BA, AA degree, certificate, or audit in Biblical Studies.
degree: Master’s in Biblical and Practical Theology
Our Master of Arts in Biblical and Practical Theology has a two-fold purpose: (1) to provide a strong grasp of the factual contents of the Bible, interpreted in a sound, scholarly, and spiritual manner and (2) to prepare students for a professional calling in part or full-time ministry. Spirit and Truth: The degree is meant to balance a Spirit and Truth pursuit with the Practical Ministry and Theology combined. The transformational aspect of Biblical Truth will be balanced to not just produce head knowledge but active servants working in power. Proclamation and Demonstration: We hope to equip this generation of servants and leaders in both proclamation and demonstration of the full gospel. There will be an emphasis on the work of the Holy Spirit. The desire is to see each study ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit and articulate both the truth and hunger for more of God.
degree: Bachelors of Arts in Biblical Studies
The Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies degree is a four-year degree offered to students for the purpose of providing the academic preparation for real-life applications which allow students to think clearly, examine their Christian heritage, write distinctively, form a comprehensive biblical theology and worldview, and to communicate the gospel effectively. Classroom lectures and interaction, study times, and research and writing provide the challenge necessary to expand the students’ biblical theology which results in a profound appreciation for creation, life, and truth. The degree program operates on a quarter system of three twelve-week terms per academic year from September through June. The Bachelor’s Degree qualifies graduates to pursue further theological or ministerial training at an accredited Seminary.
Degree: Associates of Arts in Biblical Studies
The Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies degree is a two-year degree offered to students for the purpose of providing an understanding of the primary doctrines of the Bible, as well as a deep understanding of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and a selected number of specific books of both the Old and New Testaments. Grow in knowledge and skills for accurate Biblical interpretation and application to life situations. Students will make decisions in doctrine, life, and ministry based on the foundation of the Bible. Exhibit the Christian faith in contemporary culture, having developed a biblical worldview and apologetic for Christian values and conduct.
Certificate: Biblical Studies
The Certificate/Diploma in Biblical Studies program is for those persons seeking formal recognition of their commitment to systematically study the Bible, yet not pursuing a formal accredited degree. The student is required to complete any 15 of the courses offered by NCBC with full participation in the assignments and exams. The completion of the Certificate/Diploma program leads to participation in the graduation ceremony while being awarded a diploma that reads, “Certificate in Biblical Studies.” The cost for this program is about one-half the tuition price for accredited classes.
Audit for Personal enrichment
The student attends only for their personal enrichment. They are not required to do the coursework or take the final exam. No degree or certificate is earned.
