2007-2008 Grace University Catalog

Associate in Bible

The Associate in Bible degree is a 64-credit, two-year program designed to prepare men and women in basic Bible and theological disciplines, as well as provide a broad General Educational experience. As with the Discipleship Certificate, this program is especially useful to individuals who are unable to complete a four-year program, including those programs that can lead to avenues of Christian service, but are interested in being a biblically and theologically literate Christ-follower.

The Associate in Bible is constructed in such a fashion that it can be completed by building on the one-year Discipleship Certificate with a second year of study. While those taking this program are usually not looking for a four-year degree, students who complete this Associate degree can, in turn, build upon it to pursue a Bachelors degree at Grace University since its courses lay the foundation for virtually all of Grace’s four-year programs.

Objectives
Graduates of the Associate in Bible Degree, in addition to the objectives of the Discipleship Certificate, should demonstrate:
    1. Greater maturity in the interpretation and understanding of the Bible;
    2. A basic understanding of the major doctrines of Scripture;
    3. The ability to work effectively with people in the local church; and
    4. Development in some general studies or specialized ministry area.
