Two-Year Diploma - 60 Credit Hours

The ACS diploma is two big steps into your discipleship journey. It contains a solid core of Bible and theology classes, courses that help you understand people and a number of practical ministry opportunities in the field of your choice. This track gives you a couple of years of solid Christian instruction and personal discipleship before moving on to something else. Often students start off in this program and then go on to a three or four year degree here or to university. Besides the benefits to your faith, this program gives you excellent training in writing academic essays, time management, and people skills; so useful in further studies or in the work world.

The Associate of Christian Studies diploma is awarded to those students who successfully complete the program of 60 hours.
