GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM

At Central Bible College International, there are two (2) levels of study available in our Graduate Program of Studies - Master and Doctorate. 

Many factors influence a graduate program.  The student’s previous education (theological or secular), ministry experience, their ministry ambitions, and their educational goals, and personal interest all have bearing on the courses which are assigned.  Hence, there is no standard program for graduate degrees.  However there are entrance requirements as well as some course requirements.  The student however has some freedom in fulfilling the hours required from the General elective courses.

Master of Biblical Studies (M.B.S.)
Master of Theology (Th.M)

The Master Degree is granted upon the completion of a minimum of 30 semester hours of study above the Bachelor Degree, including a submitted thesis of 6 semester hours. 
This makes for a total of 36 hrs.

The Master thesis must be type-written on not less than 50 pages covering a topic researched in the student’s field of study.  This thesis is a statement or theory put forward to be maintained or proven.  The thesis must express the students point of view on the subject.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS (Only one of the following is required):
